Charting Futures Question

[Futures Track]

Right, all prices except the current contract are inaccurate in an absolute sense.

Back-adusting seems the simplest and the most practical in most cases. I think that's all that NinjaTrader can do, and many traders seem happy with it.

To clarify:

- Some data vendors provide a continuous contract such as eSignal, if my memory serves my correctly, the symbol for the ES is "ES #F"
- NinjaTrader allows you to chart this symbol OR
- We will merge expired contracts with the current front month transparently for the user
- There are settings that determine how the data is merged, by default we back adjust the expired contracts by calculating the offset between contracts

Since NinjaTrader is always a free application for analysis, anyone with an eSignal account can connect and check out how the continuous contracts work.

Gann are correct in every sense.

Price is the best indicator ever "invented". Invented price isn't.
