Continuous futures

[maratrm]

Hi!
I have several questions:
1) Why ES ##-## last price is different from ES 03-12?
2) Can I use ES ##-## for drawing purposes, because I don't want to redraw it again when contract ES 03-12 (for instance) is due to expire?
3) Can I place orders on ES ##-##? or make the order re route to closest future contract?

Thanks

Hello,

1) The current contract is ES 06-12 - you should see this match with the ES ##-##.

2) Yes, you can use the continuous ##-## contract to keep your active drawings through contract months.

3) In simulation yes, but not on a live account. Live orders need to be placed on the specified contract.

Is there any options that I can route my order from ## to specific contract?
mb custom indicator? Is it doable at all?

Unfortunately there is not an option to accomplish this at this time.
