TrendSpider Software Update: CBOE Indices and CME/ICE Futures Now Available

3 mins read

You asked, we listened! At TrendSpider, we are constantly working on adding new, useful features to our platform as well as updating and improving the ones we currently have. In this update, we have added three new market data feeds to TrendSpider, in addition to the data feeds already supported.

New Indices and Futures Data Feeds Now Available

Indices and futures data feeds are premium features and are currently only available on our Pro and Elite plans.

In order to access Futures or Index data, you will need to use the appropriate prefix. This is similar to how the “carrot” (^) symbol is required for paired assets (like Forex and Crypto.)

CBOE Index data. To access market indices, use the prefix $. For example “$SPX” is the symbol for the SPX index. Note: CBOE data is 15-minutes delayed. All features are supported.
CME and ICE Futures data. TrendSpider natively supports continuous contracts for Futures contract. You may select from the current contract or the next contract. To identify the security you wish to load, use the asterisk symbol (*) symbol between the asset and the contract. For example, “ES*1” will load the S&P E-Mini Continuous Contract 1 (current) where as “ES*2” will load the next continuous contract. Note: CME and ICE data is EOD with intraday granularity. Certain features, namely certain types of alerts, will not work correctly with this type of data feed and thus are disabled for Futures contracts. For some futures contracts, individual contracts are also available. For example, to load the Japanese Yen September 2019 contract, you could simply type YXM19. You can find all YEN contracts by simply typing YXM or YEN into the search box.
No Additional Cost to Customers. The addition of these new data feeds comes at no additional cost to TrendSpider customers on Pro and Elite plans. With this new data, TrendSpider’s overall coverage now encompases all US equities and ETFs, including OTC markets, NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX, all CBOE Indices, all CME and ICE Futures Contracts, over 900 Forex pairs, and over 300 crypto pairs. This breadth in data allows TrendSpider customers to analyze any asset, of any class, quickly and efficiently using the best technical analysis platform available.
