VIX Curve Pro - Real-Time Term Structure with StatisticsThis indicator displays the VIX term structure as a spatial curve directly on the chart, allowing you to instantly identify whether the volatility market is in contango or backwardation. It shows the relationship between different VIX maturities (9D, 30D, 3M, 6M, 1Y) as a single curve. It also shows some statistics and helps with market detection: Historical percentile rankings for key VIX ratios Real-time min/max/average/median values over lookback period Current VIX term values with regime indicators Understand where current conditions sit relative to historical context Automatic identification of contango vs backwardation states Visual indicators showing which part of the curve is inverted Optional information guide explaining market states and trading implications How to Use: The curve shows the "shape" of volatility expectations across time. An upward-sloping curve (contango) means calm markets where longer-term volatility is priced higher than near-term. A downward-sloping curve (backwardation) shows market stress, where near-term volatility spikes above longer-term expectations. Use the statistical tables to understand whether current ratios are at historical extremes (high percentile rank) or lows (low percentile rank), helping you gauge whether volatility structures are stretched or compressed. Perfect for: Volatility traders and options strategists VIX futures and options traders Understanding market fear and complacency levels Timing volatility trades based on term structure In the example above, I've added a chart with TVC:VIX , CBOE:VIX9D , CBOE:VIX3M and $CBOE:VIX6M. It is possible to see that although they are still in backwardation (short term vix is lower than long term), it might be close to flip. This kind of situation deserve extra attention. You can set alerts to when it flips. This is a simple but useful indicator. Let me know if you have any questions!

Future Roll MonitorRolling 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?

Carry MonitorMost traders look only at price. Professionals look at the curve. Carry is the price difference between the front futures contract (F1) and the next contract (F2). It reflects whether the market is in: Backwardation — near-term supply tightness Contango — storage, financing, or excess supply When carry is annualized, it becomes comparable across commodities and time, revealing how aggressively the curve is pricing forward expectations. This indicator visualizes: Annualized F1–F2 carry over time Backwardation / Contango regimes Structure steepening or flattening 1Y structural extremes Key contract and spread statistics Carry helps answer: Is the market structurally tight or loose? Is the curve strengthening or weakening? Are we near structural extremes? This tool is designed for education and structure awareness — not signals.

Contango/Backwardation Monitor This is an indicator to display the spread difference between two products. I designed it around VX1! and VX2! but any other two products can be chosen. It is a simple subtraction of VX2-VX1. I will go through the options first and what they do followed by what contango/backwardation is in my own words. You will need the data package for VX futures for the default version to work. INPUTS -Apply Smoothing: choose to apply smoothing or not. -Smoothing Method: choose between SMA,EMA,WMA, etc. -Line Width: Width of line if line is chosen style(can be changed in style section) -Threshold 1-5: This is the level at which the line will change colors(defaults are for VX) -Color 1-5: The color the line will change to when crossing threshold. Towards Backwardation: Background color change when line is slanted down Towards Contango: Background color change when line is slanted up Bars to Confirm Trend: This is my method to cut down on background color changes. It is how many bars consecutive going back needed to change color. STYLE -All colors and whatnot can be changed here(threshold colors can be changed here or on the input page). T1 Line-T5 line: These are simple horizontal lines that can be used to denote threshold areas or whatever you want. Contango/Backwardation-These terms are used mostly with futures to define the calendar spread between two contracts. Contango is when that spread is is getting longer and backwardation is when that spread is closing. In terms of VIX futures, Contango would imply that volatility is stabilizing and the S and P will likely gain. Backwardation, woudl eb the opposite. The most simple way to read this indicator with default settings- If the line is up, red, and the background is red, then you can assume S and P prices are going down. And if the opposite is true, then prices are likely going up. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Celestial Pair Spread Hello friends, after a very long time! Today, I tried to put into code an idea that came to my mind spontaneously and suddenly. Note : This script is experimental and improvable. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. TIMEFRAME : 1D (Daily Bars) CELESTIAL SPREAD The spread moves in a very limited area and is consistent within itself, especially on days far from the end of the contract. That's why there is a reassuring sky atmosphere. That's why this name was given completely improvised. Basic logic of the script We enter the name of the CME Futures contract we want to enter: Ex : CL1! , ES1! , ZC1! , NQ1! The script creates us a pair trade parity divided into secondary contracts. Example : ES1!/ES2! What is pair trading? I will explain briefly here. For users who are wondering: www.investopedia.com Let's get back to our topic. Now we have created a parity that does not actually exist. This parity is the manifestation of the relative movements of two contracts. When the parity rises, ES1! increased,ES2! has fallen. In the opposite case, We can say: ES1! Contract has been dropped ES2! has increased. Pair trading is generally a trade that needs to be kept in mind from time to time. It is a method preferred by professionals who can process very quickly. Market risk is minimal, but since 2 contracts are purchased, more money is paid and very low percentage profits are made. It is very expensive to do pair trading, especially with oil and its derivatives and interest security derivatives. The contract we are considering has micros. (small-item contracts tied to the same value) So when we switch to our broker MES1!/MES2! We will trade. For all CME futures : www.cmegroup.com Anyway, let's continue: The script created the parity showing its relationship with the next contract and plotted it as bars. Celestial bands are just like Bollinger bands, but they consist of 3 bands based on percentage changes rather than standard deviation. The middle band is obtained from moving averages. The upper and lower bands are the middle band subjected to a threshold value. The threshold value can be changed. 0.15 percent was charged for this script. CAUTION : As can be seen in the example below; The most important thing is not to make any transactions when the contract switch dates are approaching. Therefore, it is recommended to use it just below the main chart. The blue bars in the parity are Values ​​that outside the upper and lower threshold values ​​are colored blue. For this condition Alerts has been added. Don't forget to add alert and edit. MAIN PURPOSE It is aimed to start a pair trade when such conditions come and to quickly close the trades when the parity basis reaches the value. OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS Other issues are broker related issues. Difference between initial margins and maintanence margins of contracts (between 1! and 2!) It shouldn't be too high. The commission should not be too high. Leverage must be high because the profit percentage is very low. To calculate leverage you must divide your contract size by the relevant margin requirement. Sample margin requirement table: www.interactivebrokers.com RISKS It is an experimental and intellectual script, the risk of contract price differences (maybe it will not leave a profit except for very extreme values) I remind you of the quickness risk that comes from a two-legged trade. Alerts definitely synchronized with an audible alert sent to a smartphone as an e-mail notification and displayed on the locked screen for quick action. Best regards!

Forward Curve Visualization ToolProvide the spot symbol and the futures product root, and the script automatically scans all relevant contracts for you—no more tedious manual searches. The result is a clean, intuitive chart showing the live forward curve in real time. It also detects contango or backwardation conditions (based on spot < F1 < F2 < F3). Future Features: Plot historical snapshots of the curve (1 day, 1 week, or 1 month ago) to understand market trends over time. Display additional metrics such as annualized basis, cost of carry (CoC), and even volume or open interest for deeper insights. If you trade futures and watch the forward curve, this script will give you the actionable data you need and get more ideas or features you’d like to see. Let’s build them together! Disclaimer Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.

Cantom Chart - CL CTG vs BKDEnglish : This Pine Script indicator, named "Cantom Chart - CL CTG vs BKD," uniquely analyzes the immediate state of oil futures contracts to determine if they are in contango or backwardation. The script uses the price ratio between the nearest (CL1) and the next nearest (CL2) NYMEX crude oil futures contracts. It multiplies this ratio by 100 for clarity and scales fluctuations for enhanced visibility. Key Features: Dynamic Ratio Calculation: Computes the ratio (CL1/CL2 * 100) to determine the immediate market state. Market State Interpretation: A ratio above 100 indicates backwardation, suggesting higher demand than supply, while a ratio below 100 indicates contango, suggesting higher supply than demand. Volatility Adjustment: Amplifies market state changes by tripling the deviation from the baseline of 100, making it easier to observe subtle shifts. Anomaly Detection: Caps the adjusted ratio at 125 for highs and 75 for lows, maintaining these limits until the ratio returns to normal levels. Usage: This indicator is especially useful for traders analyzing supply-demand dynamics and inflationary pressures in the oil market. To apply it, simply add the script to your TradingView chart and adjust the 'Lower Threshold' and 'Upper Threshold' lines as needed based on your trading strategy. ----- 日本語 : この「Cantom Chart - CL CTG vs BKD」Pine Scriptインジケーターは、直近の原油先物契約がコンタンゴまたはバックワーデーションにあるかを特定するための独自の分析を提供します。最近の（CL1）と次の（CL2）NYMEX原油先物契約間の価格比を使用し、この比率に100を掛けて明確性を高め、変動の視認性を向上させます。 主要機能: 動的比率計算: 市場の即時状態を判断するために比率（CL1/CL2 * 100）を計算します。 市場状態の解釈: 比率が100を超える場合はバックワーデーション（需要が供給を上回る）、100未満の場合はコンタンゴ（供給が需要を上回る）を示します。 変動調整: 基準値100からの偏差を3倍にして、微妙な変化を容易に観察できるようにします。 異常値検出: 調整された比率を高値で125、低値で75に制限し、通常のレベルに戻るまでこれらの限界を維持します。 使用方法: このインジケーターは、原油市場における需給ダイナミクスとインフレ圧力を分析するトレーダーにとって特に有用です。使用するには、このスクリプトをTradingViewチャートに追加し、トレーディング戦略に基づいて「Lower Threshold」と「Upper Threshold」のラインを必要に応じて調整します。

Binance Auto Spot-Futures Premium/Discount -CheThis Script is based in the 2020 @Plumptoiletduck script Special thanks to @tartigradia for the Auto Detect code for the Binance pair. It tells us the difference in price between Spot and Perpetual Futures. Now I incorporated the function that automatically detects the pair we are in to show the premium/discount of that pair. You never need to select the currency you are in the script anymore! It is specially designed for Binance coins, it includes all perpetuals. How to use it? Usually if the Futures are higher than the Spot it indicates that we are in an over exposure zone of longs in futures. If the spot is cheaper than the futures it means that the futures are more fearful. You can use this script with an Open Interest script to get an idea of what is going on. Other examples:

Crude Oil: Backwardation Vs ContangoCrude Oil, CL Plots Futures Curve: Futures contract prices over the next 3.5 years; to easily visualize Backwardation Vs Contango(carrying charge) markets. Carrying charge (contract prices increasing into the future) = normal, representing the costs of carrying/storage of a commodity. When this is flipped to Backwardation(As the above; contract prices decreasing into the future): it's a bullish sign: Buyers want this commodity, and they want it NOW. Note: indicator does not map to time axis in the same way as price; it simply plots the progression of contract months out into the future; left to right; so timeframe DOESN'T MATTER for this plot TO UPDATE (every year or so): in REQUEST CONTRACTS section, delete old contracts (top) and add new ones (bottom). Then in PLOTTING section, Delete old contract labels (bottom); add new contract labels (top); adjust the X in 'bar_index-(X+_historical)' numbers accordingly This is one of several similar Futures Curve indicators: Meats | Metals | Grains | VIX | Crude Oil If you want to build from this; to work on other commodities; be aware that Tradingview limits the number of contract calls to 40 (hence the multiple indicators) Tips: -Right click and reset chart if you can't see the plot; or if you have trouble with the scaling. -Right click and add to new scale if you prefer this not to overlay directly on price. Or move to new pane below. -If this takes too long to load (due to so many security calls); comment out the more distant future half of the contracts; and their respective labels. Or comment out every other contract and every other label if you prefer. --Added historical input: input days back in time; to see the historical shape of the Futures curve via selecting 'days back' snapshot updated 20th June 2022 © twingall

Exchanges [Intromoto]This indicator shows the popular crypto exchanges for Bitcoin spot and futures . This allows you to not have all of the "compare" indicators on the chart, as this combines it all in one. This indicator can be useful to show contango or backwardation between spot and derivative prices via exchange, giving potential indication for funding and reversal. Based on resolution restrictions, this will only show down to the 1 minute price. I'll be updating it with more exchanges as I see fit.

BTC Volume Contango IndexBased on my previous script "BTC Contango Index" which was inspired by a Twitter post by Byzantine General: This is a script that shows the contango between spot and futures volumes of Bitcoin to identify overbought and oversold conditions. When a market is in contango, the volume of a futures contract is higher than the spot volume. Conversely, when a market is in backwardation, the volume of the futures contract is lower than the spot volume. The aggregate daily volumes on top exchanges are taken to obtain Total Spot Volume and Total Futures Volume. The script then plots (Total Futures Volume/Total Spot Volume) - 1 to illustrate the percent difference (contango) between spot and futures volumes of Bitcoin. This data by itself is useful, but because aggregate futures volumes are so much larger than spot volumes, no negative values are produced. To correct for this, the Z-score of contango is taken. The Z-score (z) of a data item x measures the distance (in standard deviations StdDev) and direction of the item from its mean (U): Z-score = (x - U) / StDev A value of zero indicates that the data item x is equal to the mean U, while positive or negative values show that the data item is above or below the mean (x Values of +2 and -2 show that the data item is two standard deviations above or below the chosen mean, respectively, and over 95.5% of all data items are contained within these two horizontal references). We substitute x with volume contango C, the mean U with simple moving average ( SMA ) of n periods (50), and StdDev with the standard deviation of closing contango for n periods (50), so the above formula becomes: Z-score = (C - SMA (50)) / StdDev(C,50). When in contango, Bitcoin may be overbought. When in backwardation, Bitcoin may be oversold. The current bar calculation will always look incorrect due to TV plotting the Z-score before the bar closes.

BTC Contango IndexInspired by a Twitter post by Byzantine General: This is a script that shows the contango between spot and futures prices of Bitcoin to identify overbought and oversold conditions. Contango and backwardation are terms used to define the structure of the forward curve. When a market is in contango, the forward price of a futures contract is higher than the spot price. Conversely, when a market is in backwardation, the forward price of the futures contract is lower than the spot price. The aggregate prices on top exchanges are taken and then averaged to obtain a Spot Average and a Futures Average. The script then plots (Futures Average/Spot Average) - 1 to illustrate the percent difference (contango) between spot and futures prices of Bitcoin. When in contango, Bitcoin may be overbought. When in backwardation, Bitcoin may be oversold.

XBT % ContangoSimilar to my other indicators, but measures XBTUSD Contango in terms of percent. Also, built it so you could change the values that give the red and green signals. Default values are 0% or less (backwardation) indicates green. However, i found that a 0.5% setting worked will finding local bottoms for current contract of XBTH20 (March 2020). The upper value default is at 5%, and signals red when the next contract reaches over 5%. My assumption is as BTC increases in value over time, measuring contango in terms of percent will be a better measure of the XBT futures curve.

XBT Contango Calculator v1.1 This indicator measures value of basis (or spread) of current Futures contracts compared to spot. The default settings are specifically for Bitmex XBTU19 and XBTZ19 futures contracts. These will need to be updated after expiration. Also, it seems that Tradingview does not keep charts of expired contracts. If anyone knows how to import data from previous expired contracts, please let me know. This historical data could be valuable for evaluating previous XBT futures curves. Also, VERY important to understand is this indicator only works with Spot Bitcoin charts (XBTUSD, BTCUSD, etc). If you add this to any other asset chart, it would not be useful (unless you changed settings to evaluate a different Futures product). Contango and Backwardation are important fundamental indicators to keep track of while trading Futures markets. For a better explanation, Ugly Old Goat had done several medium articles on this. Please check out link below for his latest article on the subject... uglyoldgoat.com Notes on chart above should explain most of what you need to know on to use this indicator. The zero line is the spot price on the chart, so a positive value means Futures are trading at a premium (or in Contango). You can set a value of extreme Contango which will give an alert as red background (default setting is +$500). Green background will appear when Futures are trading at a discount to spot (Backwardation). Hope some people get some use out of this. This is my first attempt at coding anything, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! BTC Donations: 3CypEdvBcvVHbqzHUt1FDiUG53U7pYWviV

Premium/Discount (Input)Used to show Contango or Backwardation in futures contracts vs spot price. You can input your own tickers so can technically can be used to compare anything. * In this example I'm showing Okex Quarterly contract vs Okex spot index price because it showcases it better. * If you are using this after 2019 the default setting will not work because I set it to Bitmex which does not currently have a "current contract in front" ticker available. It should be fairly self explanatory, but just ask below if you have any questions.

Contango-Backwardation-Buschi English: This script shows the difference between a future's continuous current contract (e. g. CL1!) and the continuous next contract (e. g. CL2!). Normally, the next contract is more expensive ("Contango" - shown in green). If the next contract is cheaper, the difference is negative ("Backwardation" - shown in red). A change between Contango and Backwardation often corresponds with stronger price changes. Deutsch: Dieses Skript zeigt den Unterschied zwischen dem kontinuierlichen aktuellem Kontrakt eines Futures (z. B. CL1!) und dem kontinuierlichen Folgekontrakt (z. B. CL2!). Im Normalfall ist der Folgekontrakt teurer ("Contango" - angezeigt in grün). Wenn der Folgekontrakt billiger ist, ist die Differenz negativ ("Backwardation" - angezeigt in rot). Ein Wechsel zwischen Contango und Backwardation korrespondiert häufig mit größeren Preisänderungen.

Change Per Period - Tom1traderwww.tradingview.com Plots the values between current close and close (specified number of periods) ago. User chooses the period defaulted to 1 and the period of a simple moving average of the values in the series. Made this specifically to measure the drift of the VIX exchange traded funds VXX, UVXY and SVXY. The fact that they must drift can be strategic in trading. In the chart example it shows that VXX drifts down usually between -$10 and -$20 over a 60 day period (eyeball) and that for a few days in February of 2017 it had drifted down -$75. To find a positive change (briefly) you can see you have to go back to November of 2016. If you use Heiken Ashi candles or ohlc bars or change between regular candles and these there is a set of variables in this code that lets you do that without changing your indicator results. Anyhow use it or any of the code if it helps you, good luck with your trading and keep smiling! (any feedback appreciated also :-) )
