Hi,
My question is about the free futures data provided at the TB website at
http://www.tradingblox.com/tradingblox/ ... l-data.htm
Could someone say to me how the back-adjusted futures data are made regarding the adjustment method (subtraction or division), the roll-day method and everything else which is known about it?
Thank you.

"The roll method is detailed in the table on the download page."
I see the following text:
"Continuous Contract rolling on Open Interest when-reported forcing roll on 7 days prior to expiration"
To be sincere I can't understand that. Can someone write the above text more clearly?
How are the contracts rolled? 7 days prior to expiration rolling would be clear, but how is Open Interest included in the rolling procedure?

I think you have it backwards - the contract rolls when open interest on the front month falls below the next month. If open interest isn't reported or front-month OI hasn't fallen below back month by 7 days prior to expiration, then the contract rolls automatically 7 seven days prior to expiration.
The 7 days is a fall-back point to roll.
