CME-Daten zu fortlaufenden Futures, volumenbasierten Rollvorgängen und Downloads

Code Machine Learning for Trading

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Leitfaden zum Datensatz beschreibt eine Sammlung fortlaufender CME-Futures-Kontrakte aus Aktienindizes, Zinsen, Energie, Metallen, Währungen, Landwirtschaft und Viehwirtschaft. Er erläutert die stündlichen Quelldaten und die daraus abgeleitete Tagesfrequenz, mehrere Kontraktlaufzeiten, die Produktkonfiguration und die Filterung über einen Loader. Der Download-Ablauf teilt Dateien nach Produkt und Jahr auf, unterstützt Kostenschätzungen und Probeläufe und empfiehlt, vor der Datenanforderung die Gebühren des Anbieters zu prüfen.

Die Kontrakte werden volumenbasiert gerollt: Der Wechsel erfolgt, wenn das Volumen des nächsten Kontrakts am Vortag das des aktuellen Kontrakts übersteigt, wobei nur Informationen verwendet werden, die vor der nächsten Sitzung verfügbar sind. Der Leitfaden stellt dies als handelsorientierte Rollkonvention dar und unterscheidet den Front-, den zweiten und den dritten Kontrakt. Er dient als Referenz zur Datenbeschaffung und Abdeckung, nicht zur Bewertung einer Strategie; er liefert keine Evidenz zum Renditeverhalten oder zur Roll-Performance. Der Datenanbieter ist kostenpflichtig, und Downloads ersetzen vollständige Historien, statt sie schrittweise zu aktualisieren, was sich auf Kosten und Pflege von Forschungsdatensätzen auswirkt.

Kernaussagen

  • Der Datensatz deckt fortlaufende Futures aus mehreren Anlagegruppen ab und unterstützt stündliche sowie daraus abgeleitete tägliche Daten.
  • Bei einer volumenbasierten Roll wird anhand des Volumens vom Vortag bestimmt, wann zu einem anderen Kontrakt gewechselt wird.
  • Mehrere Laufzeiten stehen für den Front-, den zweiten und den dritten Kontraktmonat.
  • Kostenschätzungen und Probeläufe beim Download helfen Forschenden, den kostenpflichtigen Datenzugriff zu verwalten.
  • Da Downloads vollständige Historien ersetzen, sollte die Aktualisierungsfrequenz die Kosten berücksichtigen.

# ## 2. API Key Setup
#
# **Databento is a paid data provider.** New accounts receive $125 free credit.
#
# ### Getting a Databento API Key
#
# 1. Sign up at [Databento](https://databento.com/signup) ($125 free credit)
# 2. Navigate to **API Keys** in your dashboard
# 3. Create a new API key
# 4. Add to your `.env` file in the repository root:
#
# ```bash
# DATABENTO_API_KEY=db-your-api-key-here
# ```
#
# ### Cost Reference
#
# | Data Type | Cost Estimate |
# |-----------|---------------|
# | Hourly OHLCV | ~$0.50-1.00 per product per year |
# | Daily OHLCV | ~$0.05-0.10 per product per year |
# | Full 30 products x 15 years | ~$75-100 |
#
# **ALWAYS run cost estimation before downloading!**

# ## 3. Download Data
#
# **IMPORTANT**: Always run cost estimation before downloading!
#
# The download:
# - Uses Hive partitioning by product/year for efficient updates
# - Downloads full date range per product in one API call (cost efficient)
# - Stores V0, V1, V2 tenors (front, second, third month) stacked

# ### Databento
# - [Databento Documentation](https://databento.com/docs/)
# - [CME Globex Dataset](https://databento.com/docs/datasets/cme)
# - [Continuous Contracts](https://databento.com/docs/schemas/continuous)
#
# ### Continuous Contract Construction
#
# The data uses **volume-based roll** (`.v.` suffix):
# - Roll occurs when previous day's volume shows next contract > current
# - This is realistic for trading (you know yesterday's volume at today's open)
#
# Available tenors:
# - **V0**: Front month (nearest expiry)
# - **V1**: Second month
# - **V2**: Third month
#
# ### Product Categories
#
# | Category | Products | Description |
# |----------|----------|-------------|
# | Equity Index | ES, NQ, YM, RTY | S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, Dow, Russell 2000 |
# | Treasury | ZN, ZB, ZF, ZT | 10Y, 30Y, 5Y, 2Y notes/bonds |
# | Energy | CL, NG, HO, RB | Crude, natural gas, heating oil, gasoline |
# | Metals | GC, SI, HG, PL | Gold, silver, copper, platinum |
# | FX | 6E, 6J, 6B, 6A, 6C, 6S | EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD, CHF |
# | Agriculture | ZC, ZS, ZW, ZM, ZL | Corn, soybeans, wheat, meal, oil |
# | Livestock | LE, HE, GF | Live cattle, lean hogs, feeder cattle |

# ## 8. Updating Data
#
# To update with the latest data:
#
# ```python
# # Estimate cost first!
# estimate_futures_cost()
#
# # Download updates (re-downloads full history)
# download_futures_data(dry_run=False)
#
# # Force re-download specific products
# download_futures_data(products=["ES", "NQ"], force=True, dry_run=False)
# ```
#
# **Note**: Databento downloads replace full history (no incremental updates).
# Plan updates strategically to minimize cost.
