Methods to Find Roll-Over Dates
Here are the common methods to track roll-over dates for futures contracts:
- Check Exchange Websites The exchanges where futures contracts are traded, such as CME Group, typically publish contract specifications and calendars that include roll-over dates. You can visit the exchange’s website to stay updated on contract expiration
2. Use Your Trading Platform Many trading platforms provide features that display contract information, including roll-over dates. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these tools within your trading platform to stay informed.
3. Monitor Volume and Open Interest As contracts near their expiration, volume and open interest begin to shift to the next contract. Observing this market data will help you determine when it’s time to roll over your futures contracts.
