Données de contrats à terme continus CME, roulements par volume et téléchargements
Résumé
Ce guide de jeu de données décrit un ensemble de contrats à terme continus CME couvrant les indices boursiers, les taux, l’énergie, les métaux, les devises, les produits agricoles et l’élevage. Il présente les données horaires sources et la fréquence quotidienne dérivée, plusieurs échéances de contrats, la configuration des produits et le filtrage au moyen d’un chargeur. Le processus de téléchargement répartit les fichiers par produit et par année, permet d’estimer les coûts et d’effectuer des essais à blanc, et recommande de vérifier les frais du fournisseur avant de demander les données.
Les contrats font l’objet de roulements fondés sur le volume : le passage au contrat suivant a lieu lorsque son volume de la veille dépasse celui du contrat en cours, à partir des informations disponibles avant la séance suivante. Le guide présente cette convention comme adaptée au trading et distingue les échéances du contrat le plus proche, du deuxième plus proche et du troisième plus proche. Il s’agit d’une référence sur l’acquisition et la couverture des données, pas d’une évaluation de stratégie ; elle ne fournit aucune preuve concernant le comportement des rendements ou les performances des roulements. Le fournisseur de données est payant et les téléchargements remplacent les historiques complets au lieu de les mettre à jour progressivement, ce qui influe sur le coût et la maintenance des jeux de données de recherche.
Idées clés
- Le jeu de données couvre des contrats à terme continus de plusieurs catégories d’actifs et propose des données horaires ainsi que leur dérivé quotidien.
- Un roulement fondé sur le volume utilise le volume de la veille pour déterminer le moment du passage au contrat suivant.
- Les différentes échéances représentent le mois du contrat le plus proche, du deuxième plus proche et du troisième plus proche.
- L’estimation des coûts et les essais à blanc des téléchargements aident les chercheurs à gérer l’accès payant aux données.
- Les téléchargements qui remplacent l’historique complet impliquent de tenir compte des coûts pour choisir la fréquence des mises à jour.

# ## 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!
