It would be prudent and forward-thinking to equip this dashboard with the ability to switch data sources. The CME offers API access through registering as an individual, it would be a very good idea to have to ability to call historical and market data from this as it is free, and some users will also have purchased premium data sets. This will allow CME traders the ability to plug-and-play. https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/datamine-api.html Additionally, some price data is available here: https://www.econdb.com/commodities - available through an OpenAPI https://www.econdb.com/blog/pandas-datareader/ This resource handles cross-referencing ticker symbols for the same instrument globally: https://www.openfigi.com/about/symbology |

Hey @deeleeramone, thanks for the data. Do you mind either adding it to this: https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal/blob/022f52c83913cf51c21e2c2fd085debc2e6aa357/custom_imports/dashboards/futures.csv and submitting a commit, or making that data match this format. The entire dashboard auto builds from the csv linked above. |
Will do, I think I have broken a sufficient number of things for this morning; so maybe I'll get a chance do this later today. |

I think the dashboard is a great proof of concept but what's more important right now is to focus on a derivatives menu, which includes futures. So for now I am happy to approve this and continue with this when we have our derivatives menu designed.
Description
Futures dashboard request by Bexley. Todo:
For right now I think adding CME data might be out of reach. So far I have had to:
And I still do not have access. If someone wants to add CME thats fine, but I don't think its worth my time for now since the API is not accessible for most of our users.
How has this been tested?
