Pinnacle Data has been involved with commodity prices, futures prices, continously linked commodity futures contracts using forward adjusted contracts and reverse adjusted contracts and non adjusted contracts since 1994.
It added individual commodity contracts starting with the most active futures contracts then adding deep history of thousands of commodity contracts with over 30 years of history.
It is possible to trade commodities directly using continously linked series as the current commodity contract is unadjusted and agrees with the currently trading prices.
We hand picked the rollover days to switch from one contract to the next using the most active front month and peak of volume.
Our historical data is hard to find and charting traders use it along with analysts studing technical analysis to optimize trading patterns.
Then COT data was added (Commitment of Traders) to complement the price data, it includes commercial traders, non commercial traders and small traders holdings both long and short, it complements price data and popular with technical study and neural networks.
