Hi, I have a quick question regarding the "Continuous Futures Contract" option:

I wonder if I should use the "Volume Based Rollover" or the "Volume Based Rollover, Back Adjusted" option. (My question is only about the "Back Adjusted" - it's clear for me that I generally want the Volume Based Rollover)

I read the documentation and understood what "Back Adjusted" does, but I still don't understand the real benefit of using this option.

Any insights/advice from more experienced traders on why one should use (or not use) the "Back Adjusted" option would be very appeciated.
