Back-Testing Future contracts

Hi,


1.) If I change the custom dates range in my chart, is there a way that the system automatically selects the on-the run S&P future contract?

2.) If I want to back-test a trading strategy for a longer time period, how do I do this if the time frame spans across several future contracts? Do I have to change the dates and select the on-the run contract manually each time and test for 3 months periods? Or can I do a continous backtest across contracts

Thanks
