Discussion of article "Continuous futures contracts in MetaTrader 5"
So it seems that the main use for the continuous futures contract is in backtesting. I'm not sure if this indicator will help with that. In the backtesting settings screen I must indicate which symbol I wish to backtest. A new continuous symbol has not been created. Am I missing something? Thanks for your work on this.

New article Continuous futures contracts in MetaTrader 5 has been published:
Trader can't create his own charts in MetaTrader 5 as it can be constructed only with the broker's symbols. The trader requires a synthetic product – the continuous futures contract. The problem is that only a broker can make splicing of contracts and only the broker decides whether he will connect futures on the given symbol.
Fortunately, the history of the closed futures is always available in the terminal. Use this history to splice futures contracts in the terminal.
