Continuous Contract

What it means

A continuous contract lets traders study longer-term price history without changing symbols every expiration cycle.

What to watch

The stitching method matters. Back-adjusted and unadjusted continuous contracts can produce different gaps, highs, lows, and indicator readings.

Where traders usually run into this

Continuous Contract is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.

• Front Month keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
• Contract Roll keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
• Roll Gap keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.

Best next page if this term is blocking you

If you understand the definition but still do not know what to do with it, start with Front Month. That page is the fastest way to see how continuous contract shows up in a real glossary workflow.
