Re: When to rollover to the next month's contract.
The S&P futures expire the 3rd Friday of the month in March, June, Sept,and Dec. The day before the 2nd Friday of the month (Thursday) is the day the new contract begins to trade actively. This will usually be the 2nd Thursday of the month, but could be the 1st Thursday of the month if the first day of the month is a Friday - thus I say the day before the 2nd Friday of the month. ( Also ES, NQ etc.)
