Historical Data
What is the timezone of each historical data series?
The timezone of the data series is written in the descriptions of each product.
Has data got daylight saving's switch?
Yes, it does.
Are the futures back-adjusted and continuous?
No. We do not trust all those who back-adjust futures — we think that gaps after rolling are what really happened in the market and we register that gap.
What is the logic of a contract rollover?
According to the logic of trade volumes: we roll a contract when the next one has become more traded than the expiring one, generally a few days before the expiration.
Are the stocks split and dividend back-adjusted?
Yes, they are.
How can I convert a dataset into a different format than the MetaTrader one?
Through our BTM Converter tool.
Are Forex data futures or spot exchange rate?
Forex data are the spot exchange rates.
I bought S&P 500 futures data from BTM and compared it with Yahoo ^GSPC Index — why is the data different?
Because you are comparing futures data with index data. These are two different instruments.
