Future Roll Monitor

2 040
Rolling futures is not just a mechanical action — it is a structural decision.

When you move from one contract to the next, you are exposed to changes in price, liquidity, and term structure. The difference between contracts (the “roll”) can quietly add cost, generate yield, or signal shifts in supply and demand dynamics.

Future Roll Monitor helps you understand what is happening beneath the surface during contract transitions.

Why Roll Analysis Matters

Most traders focus only on price.

Professionals also monitor:
  • The spread between front and next contract
  • Whether the curve is in contango or backwardation
  • Where liquidity is migrating
  • How open interest is shifting

These factors affect:
  • True carry exposure
  • Execution quality
  • Structural pressure in the market
  • The real cost of maintaining a position

Ignoring the roll can distort performance expectations.

What This Tool Shows

This version provides essential roll awareness:
  • Front & next contract data (price, DTE, volume, open interest)
  • Roll cost in absolute and percentage terms
  • Curve direction (Contango / Backwardation)
  • Volume ratio (is liquidity shifting?)
  • Open interest ratio (is positioning migrating?)

It helps answer key questions:
  • Has the market started rolling?
  • Is the roll expensive?
  • Is liquidity already concentrated in the next contract?
  • What structure am I stepping into?
Notas de prensa

  • Added an option to switch between allowed and major future contracts.
