Futures curves - where can I see them?

    E.g. CL, NG, etc. I have a dim memory that IB provided something like this but I just googled for it and nothing came up, so I must be mistaken.
    Does anybody know how I can view futures curves / strips (or whatever else they are called)?

    Thank you in advance.
     
  2. ThinkorSwim has the curves under Charts>Product Depth, all you have to do is toggle from options to futures

    Hi,

    In IB's TWS right-click the instrument you wish to see the curve of. Then choose Charts -> Term Structure. It opens a webpage with the curve for the chosen instrument.

    Nice one! I remembered correctly after all.
    I right clicked something earlier today (charts etc. ) but either missed it or, well, I dunno, maybe I was just too stressed at the time .. not processing incoming information correctly.

    Cheers mate :)

    Thanks

    However I thought ( and i want) he was talking about contango for instance where you can plot the convexity not just one month settles 14' 15' 16'17 etc

    Rather each month in succession

    Here are some. What info are you looking for
     
  8. Anyone can sign up for a free thinkorswim paper trading account and use their platform. You can even get realtime chart data. Been using it for years.
     
  9. Thanks also, never noticed the 'hidden' options. (I seem to learn something new on IB every week, usually serendipitously.)


    Useful resource, nifty app. Is it your site?
     
  10. Thanks for sharing that.
