US T-Bond timeframes the app supports

US T-Bond coverage & file size, timeframe by timeframe

Every US T-Bond timeframe shares the same 2018-12-18 start date, but not the same scale — coarser candles stay small while tick and intraday files grow fast. Current through 2026-08-01:

Counts are approximate, derived from bonds session hours across the available history. Tick and 1-second runs are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. See the data methodology for how candles are built.

Working with the US T-Bond series

The US T-Bond future tracks the long end of the Treasury curve — the most duration-heavy, most rate-sensitive instrument in this catalogue. The series starts end-2018 and therefore captures the full arc: the 2020 flight-to-safety peak, then the deepest Treasury drawdown in modern history as long bonds lost roughly 40% into 2023. Bond "safety" is a short-duration concept; this series is the proof. Prices move inversely to yields; continuous rolls apply.
