OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Contango-Backwardation-Buschi
English:
This script shows the difference between a future's continuous current contract (e. g. CL1!) and the continuous next contract (e. g. CL2!). Normally, the next contract is more expensive ("Contango" - shown in green). If the next contract is cheaper, the difference is negative ("Backwardation" - shown in red).
A change between Contango and Backwardation often corresponds with stronger price changes.
Deutsch:
Dieses Skript zeigt den Unterschied zwischen dem kontinuierlichen aktuellem Kontrakt eines Futures (z. B. CL1!) und dem kontinuierlichen Folgekontrakt (z. B. CL2!). Im Normalfall ist der Folgekontrakt teurer ("Contango" - angezeigt in grün). Wenn der Folgekontrakt billiger ist, ist die Differenz negativ ("Backwardation" - angezeigt in rot).
Ein Wechsel zwischen Contango und Backwardation korrespondiert häufig mit größeren Preisänderungen.
