Backtesting ES

Discussion in 'Index Futures' started by EliteTraderNYC, May 6, 2013.

  1. Hey guys, what is the accepted practice for backtesting an ES or for that matter any futures contract? I know it rolls over once every quarter, but at what point do you stop backtesting one contract and then start backtesting the next one? Kinetick minute data goes back 2 years and ticks 120 days.

    Just use the ES ##-## with NT and Kinetick.
