Datos de futuros continuos CME, rollovers por volumen y descarga
Resumen
Esta guía de datos describe una colección de contratos de futuros continuos CME que abarca índices bursátiles, tipos de interés, energía, metales, divisas, agricultura y ganadería. Explica los datos de origen horarios y la frecuencia diaria derivada, los distintos vencimientos, la configuración de productos y el filtrado mediante un cargador. El proceso de descarga divide los archivos por producto y año, permite estimar costes y hacer simulaciones de descarga, y recomienda consultar las tarifas del proveedor antes de solicitar datos.
Los contratos usan rollovers basados en volumen: la transición ocurre cuando el volumen del día anterior del siguiente contrato supera al del contrato actual, usando información disponible antes de la siguiente sesión. La guía presenta esto como una convención de rollover orientada al trading y distingue los vencimientos del contrato más próximo, el segundo y el tercero. Es una referencia para adquirir datos y conocer su cobertura, no una evaluación de estrategias; no aporta pruebas sobre el comportamiento de los rendimientos ni sobre el desempeño de los rollovers. El proveedor de datos es de pago, y las descargas sustituyen los historiales completos en lugar de actualizarlos de forma incremental, lo que afecta al coste y mantenimiento de los conjuntos de datos de investigación.
Ideas clave
- El conjunto de datos abarca futuros continuos de varios grupos de activos y ofrece datos horarios y diarios derivados.
- Un rollover basado en volumen utiliza el volumen del día anterior para determinar cuándo cambiar de contrato.
- Los distintos vencimientos representan los meses del contrato más próximo, el segundo y el tercero.
- La estimación de costes y las descargas de prueba ayudan a gestionar el acceso de pago a los datos.
- Como las descargas sustituyen el historial completo, la frecuencia de actualización debe tener en cuenta el coste.

# ## 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!**
# %%
# Verify API key is configured

# %% [markdown]
# ## 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

# ## 7. Documentation
#
# ### 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 |
# %% [markdown]
# ## 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.
# %% [markdown]
# ## Summary
#
# | Item | Value |
# |------|-------|
# | Products | 30 core (+ 6 extension) |
# | Frequencies | Hourly (raw), Daily (derived) |
# | Coverage | 2011-2025 |
# | Provider | Databento (**PAID** - $125 free credit) |
# | Config | `config.yaml` |
# | Loader | `load_cme_futures(frequency, products, tenors, start_date, end_date)` |
#
# **CRITICAL**: Always run `estimate_futures_cost()` before downloading!
