tomorrow is rollover day

Tried IB years ago. The nasty tone of customer service was a complete turn off. Always got some guy from Harlem who didn't like white people. And I'm a nice guy. Whatever I suppose.
 
There is so much conflicting information on futures rollover/ active months.

I am looking for a reliable futures rollover rule based calendar similar to what exists here:

http://pinnacledata.com/clc.html

The pinnacle data site seems OK, but I want a site or a spreadsheet or calendar to compare.

Also I am interested in knowing what are the active months for commodities.

For example index & FX are on a quarterly expiration cycle,

Gold is different with active months being: Feb, April, June, Aug, Dec

What would be active months for:

Silver, Copper, the energy products (CL, NG, BRN, GAS, RBOB, Heating Oil), corn, soy, wheat, Eurodollar, Euribor.


Please fell free to upload spreadsheets or documents.

Thanks!
 
When I first started trading in 2001 by the end of the rollover day (Thursday) the volume on the new front contracts would exceed the old ones.

Now it seems like there's still healthy volume on the old ones even at 4PM ET and the volume really starts to shift Friday morning. Today it's still better than 2:1 volume U:Z at 3:PM ET

Just noticing.
 
Quote from guy2:

Yes, it's the end of the year. Roll your contracts from December (Z) to March (H).

Why should one roll (pls. make the point, as I do not click links)? How does the market behavior on day , and day +1, of the roll?
