NY Cocoa coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
Every NY Cocoa timeframe shares the same 2017-10-20 start date, but not the same scale — coarser candles stay small while tick and intraday files grow fast. Current through 2026-08-01:

Working with the NY Cocoa series
Cocoa produced the commodity chart of the decade: West African supply failure roughly tripled prices in early 2024 to records far beyond anything in the prior forty years. This series starts in 2017, so that vertical stretch sits inside a short file and dominates every statistic computed from it — means, volatilities and "normal" ranges from this data describe a market that mostly no longer exists on either side of 2024. This is also a continuous CFD over futures, so roll discontinuities apply.
