US Futures Trade and Quote

GET https://api.devalgoseek.com/api/v1/data/us-futures/fut-taq/:trade_date/:ticker#

The U.S. Futures Trade and Quote (TAQ) dataset provides tick-level intraday trade and quote data for CME-listed futures contracts, delivering a detailed view of futures market activity across CME Group exchanges. The dataset captures executed trades and bid/ask quote updates with millisecond timestamp resolution and includes key event attributes such as exchange condition codes and a trade aggressor flag, indicating whether the buyer or seller initiated each trade. These fields enable precise analysis of execution dynamics, order-flow behavior, and short-horizon market microstructure. Coverage spans all futures contracts traded on U.S. exchanges, including products listed on CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX. Data is organized in UTC for consistency, with local exchange timestamps in Chicago time (CT) included to align with standard futures-market conventions. The dataset is designed to support intraday futures analytics, execution research, and high-resolution historical back-testing where accurate timing and trade/quote context are essential.

For more details, please refer to the dataset documentation: US Futures Trade and Quote Guide.
