Hi SC,
Is using the continuous contract accurate for backtesting? How many days should I use for backtesting?
Thanks,
Dennis

Yes it is accurate. How many days to use is up to you. Here is the relevant documentation for Continuous Futures Contract charts:

Hi SC,
I trade SC through AMP Futures. I change my days to load on the chart and it changes my strategies profit amount or it will make it a loss even though I start the backtest at the same date. Why is that?
Thanks,
Dennis
