With ES rolling this week and nothing in the help section about it, I was hoping someone could give an example of how to setup the new continuous contracts feature in MC 6.2.
The only thing I could find is custom futures, is that what we use ? Please post the settings page.

It finally worked today. (I expected it to roll earlier). I used "Custom Futures" and my settings are attached for the ES (E-mini S&P).

** No , not tradable directly, but the prices are exactly the same as the current contract, so very useful for backtesting or using with indicators that need alot of data.Thank you. Very nice. Make sure exchange setting set to Globex for IB.
Would this be a tradeable instrument (as in @ESM10 would be tradeable in TS) ?

Instructions to add Symbol Root are here:Are only US Futures supported for creating Custom Futures?
I didnt find a way to get Eurex or Liffe Symbols shown in the "Symbol Root".
