Working with the US Brent Crude Oil series
This is a continuous CFD rather than a single futures contract, meaning it rolls from one delivery month to the next as each expires. Rolls introduce discontinuities that are an artefact of the contract change and not a market move — if your strategy trades gaps or breakouts, it will find signals at the roll dates that were never tradable. Daily coverage begins 2006; tick data starts 2010.

Frequently asked questions
- How far back does US Brent Crude Oil data go?
- US Brent Crude Oil daily and monthly candles reach back to 2006-11-17 — roughly 20 years. Tick and intraday history is shorter: it begins 2010-12-02. Both run up to the last completed trading day, and every licence tier reaches all of it.
- Why does US Brent Crude Oil tick data start later than its daily candles?
- Because they come from different parts of the archive. Daily and monthly US Brent Crude Oil candles are reconstructed from long-run end-of-day records going back to 2006-11-17, while the tick archive — every individual bid/ask quote — only begins 2010-12-02, about 4 years later. If your study needs the full 20-year span, work in daily candles; if it needs quote-level detail, 2010-12-02 is the earliest US Brent Crude Oil start date available.
