Learn exactly how to load and roll a futures contract in DeepCharts. Before charting, you must understand futures month codes, subscribe to the right exchanges, and manually roll your contracts as volume shifts.
A futures symbol is a specific code, not a generic ticker. DeepCharts puts you in total control of your data feeds, market subscriptions, and rollover timing so you never get caught trading an illiquid, expired month.
– Decode futures symbols (e.g., ESU6) to understand root, month, and year codes.
– Add symbols and manage exchange subscriptions (CME, CBOT) in one click.
– Connect your preferred data feed, from delayed dxFeed to live Rithmic connections.
– Utilize cross trading: chart the full-size E-mini (ES) while executing on the Micro (MES).
– Execute a manual symbol rollover to stay perfectly aligned with migrating market volume.

There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. When considering technical analysis, please remember educational charts are presented with the benefit of hindsight. Market conditions are always evolving, and technical trading theories and approaches may not always work as intended. The placement of contingent orders by you or broker, or trading advisor, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit-order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity interest trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. Optimus Futures, LLC is not affiliated with nor does it endorse any trading system, methodologies, newsletter, or other similar service. We urge you to conduct your own due diligence.
