FAQs About Our Historical Futures Data
How far back does your historical futures data go?
SpiderRock’s data history starts in January of 2019 for most of our futures products.
How do you track and collect your futures data?
Our historical data comes from the live data and analytics that powers the SpiderRock trading system. Using the data as part of the trading platform continuously helps to ensure a high level of accuracy and consistency. The data is also properly labeled, saved in a point-in-time format and basic data cleaning is performed to improve quality. SpiderRock evaluates the data for validity and accuracy and performs statistical checks on the production databases daily to verify completeness.
What supporting files come with your futures price data?
Futures and options on futures data comes with a set of reference files that define the details of futures contracts and the linkage between the options and the underlying price. Futures tick sizes and the delivery of the futures vary widely from product to product. Unlike equity options, options on futures may have a more complex underlying asset definition as determined by the exchange listing the product.
Which futures and commodities do you track?
SpiderRock datasets currently cover all futures products from the CME, NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT, and CBOE’s CFE exchanges. SpiderRock is working with other futures exchanges in the US and Europe to add additional products in the near future.
