      Hi,

      this is perhaps a little bit off topic, I hope nobody minds... .

      I am interested in future trading.

      Sometimes I get confused by

      • differences how things are (or could be) calculated in the futures world as compared to the stocks trading world.
        Example: how to calculate returns in the future world?
        (is e.g. this really the best way? https://www.quora.com/How-does-one-calculate-returns-on-a-futures-contract/answer/Joe-Fallico )

      • how to handle the different ways of gluing together contracts?

      My questions therefore are:

      1. Could somebody please recommend me a book / webpage where (automated) trading with regards to futures is covered and which could act as a 'golden reference'?

      2. Which forum is good for asking question more related to the non-coding parts of futures trading?

      Thanks a lot in advance!

        Remark: I now that Backtrader already offers the possibility to glue futures contract for me. But I would like to understand / discuss the different possibilities anyhow :-)
