Gas Oil coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe
Every Gas Oil timeframe shares the same 2017-12-26 start date, but not the same scale — coarser candles stay small while tick and intraday files grow fast. Current through 2026-09-17:

Working with the Gas Oil series
Gas oil (the European diesel benchmark) is quoted in US dollars per metric tonne — not per barrel — and its defining modern window is 2022, when the loss of Russian supply blew refined-product cracks to records and briefly made diesel the tightest market in energy. As a continuous futures CFD it carries roll discontinuities, and as a refined product it can decouple sharply from crude: treating it as "Brent with extra steps" misses exactly the episodes that matter.
