Continuous Futures Rollover Methodology
Symbolik provides continuous futures charts using the _1 suffix (e.g., ES_1, CL_1, GC_1). These charts automatically transition between individual futures contracts based on trading volume and open interest.
How Rollover Is Determined
Symbolik calculates a lead score for each eligible futures contract using the following formula:
Lead Score = Current Day Volume + Previous Day Volume + Previous Day Open Interest
- The contract with the highest lead score becomes the active contract in the continuous series.
- All later contracts are considered, so the series may skip contract months when a later contract has a higher lead score.
- Once a series advances to a later contract, it will not roll backward to an earlier contract.
- The same rollover methodology applies across all futures markets.
Historical Price Adjustments
Continuous futures charts are back-adjusted to account for price differences between contracts at rollover. These adjustments accumulate over successive rolls, meaning historical prices may differ from those of the original individual contracts.
Charts displaying specific futures contracts are not back-adjusted and retain their original historical prices.
Identifying the Underlying Contract
Symbolik does not currently display the active underlying contract or historical rollover dates for continuous futures series.
