Continuous Futures Contract / Other questions

[Freddie]

Anyone know if IB, Interactive Brokers, has a continuous YM contract?

If currently trading the March YM, when is it most advisable to switch over to the June YM contract?

thx,

Freddie

Always advisable to roll-over when the forward contract has more volume.

Also, IB offers automatic notification of roll-over. When you get the message, add the other contract and watch the volume.

Automatic Futures Rollover Message

Thx but I don't have that option in build 867.4 of TWS.

Freddie - as knyyt said, simply switch when the next contract has more volume. Put a reminder on your calendar to alert you to watch the date as it approaches.

There's probably a website out there that lists when to roll as well, perhaps someone can post it here. I also get a reminder email from my broker, Mirus Futures, when rollover is.
