Hi Mav, is there a specific reason that you follow TBT in addition to the bond futures (i.e. ZB, ZN, ZF) themselves? I'd guess the latter contain all relevant information. Is it because of possibly different A up/down levels due to the different trading hours of TBT (ETF) vs. bonds (futures)?
It's an awfully boring year so far. While there are nice short term moves, lasting a few days, there's not enough follow through for such a long term trend-following strategy to generate decent profits. Compared to other CTAs it's okay, but of course that doesn't help us much...

Except JPY all had a confirmed A up/down last month, will be interesting to see if the action continues this month.
If you happen to have Matlab, I'd recommend this one, lots of code examples and programming exercises:

For daily data I'm also using CSI data (which is a very reliable data source for daily data btw...).
So you have two possibilities right now:
1) You could download all single contracts for each future. Up to now you've probably only used their backadjusted data where you have 1 time...
You could split it up: Financials (equity indices, bonds, currency futures) always roll into the next contract (and not to a more distant contract) and the OI/Vol typically shifts to the next contract on the same day (e.g. 2 days before expiry). So you could use a fixed rule here.
