Re: Volume Question

On intraday charts, what I do is use combined emini volume for a few days around the rollover period.

data1= continuous contract
data2=old
data3=new

Combine vol of data2/data3 for the rollover period. Otherwise volume signals get lost.

This would probably work with daily as well, though I haven't used it.

Perhaps with custom futures something creative could be done with this too - i.e. front month, second contract back, etc.

It would be nice if there were a way to use composite futures on daily, though I know of no easy way to do this in TS.

Subject: Volume Question


I have not used volume as an indicator in the past so excuse me for this
rather uniformed question:
When you use volume on say the S&P 500 contract there are huge rises in it
as you pass through roll dates - how do you normalize for that so you see
only volume that is not related to the roll?
