Futures Market

Futures curves, OI & settlements

Futures Market delivers institutional-grade futures data from CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, and CBOE. Forward curves, back-adjusted price history, open interest, official settlements, Level 2 order book snapshots, and full contract specifications — all in one tool.

Whether you're analyzing contango and backwardation in crude oil, backtesting a strategy on S&P 500 futures, or studying positioning ahead of expiry, this tool gives you the same data professionals use without needing multiple vendor subscriptions.

What you can do

  • term_structure — pull the full forward curve for any product with basis and roll yield between front months
  • continuous_contract — back-adjusted OHLCV history with calendar, OI-based, or volume-based roll rules
  • open_interest — total OI over time or broken down by individual contract
  • settlement_prices — official exchange settlements for any date range and contract set
  • price_history — OHLCV bars for specific contracts, continuous series, or parent symbols at daily, hourly, or minute resolution
  • contract_specs — tick size, multiplier, currency, exchange, and expiry for all listed contracts
  • order_book_snapshot — Level 2 bid/ask depth at any historical moment for microstructure research

How to use it

  1. Use term_structure to see the full forward curve and identify contango or backwardation
  2. Use continuous_contract with a start date to pull long-term back-adjusted price history
  3. Use open_interest to track positioning over time and spot roll dynamics
  4. Connect your account with a data API key to activate all skills.
Term Structure

Full futures forward curve: all listed contracts from front to far, with settlement prices, open interest, volume, basis (spread vs front month), and roll yield. Essential for contango/backwardation analysis.

Returns: Table of all listed contracts with settlement, volume, OI, basis vs front month, and roll yield between front two contracts
Continuous Contract

Back-adjusted continuous contract OHLCV history. Rolls automatically by calendar date, open interest, or volume. Use for long-term price charts and quantitative research without gaps at expiry.

Returns: Line chart of close prices with full OHLCV bar data for the back-adjusted continuous series
Open Interest

Open interest history from exchange statistics. Aggregate total OI over time as a chart, or break down by contract as a table. Useful for positioning analysis and roll monitoring.

Returns: Chart of total open interest by date (aggregate=total), or table of OI per contract per day (aggregate=by_contract)

Official exchange settlement prices for futures contracts over a date range. Includes open interest. Filter to specific contracts or pull all active contracts for a product.

Returns: Table of official settlement prices and open interest by date and contract
