Hi,
Is there a way I can always keep track of the continuous Volatility futures contracts of the actual month and back month? (F1 F2)
I know I can have the historical data of the front month by setting continuous roll over based on volume, but can I do the same for the next contract and keep a continuous rollover?
I need to keep track of the difference between both and do backtested signals.

Thanks.

We are not understanding this. We also do not know what symbol you are referring to. /VX is not recognizable to us. And we don't know what F1 and F2 are.

I mean the futures of the volatility index of the SP500. I need to track contango and backwardation using the difference between front month and back month of the volatility futures, and I need to make backtesting with that too, so I need to continuously have the front and back month historical data. Is that possible?
