Market Data Disclaimer

Market data disclaimer

TickerLayer provides derived, indicative market data for informational and technical use only. We are not affiliated with any exchange, issuer, broker, trading venue, or listed company unless expressly stated. We do not provide investment advice, execute trades, manage funds, or facilitate financial transactions. Data may be delayed, inaccurate, or different from official market prices. Perpetual futures data is a calculated composite of third-party derivatives markets: it is not the price of any underlying, carries no rights in any underlying, and we do not list, offer, or trade any contract. Futures CFDs are reference prices we calculate with our own methodology for futures contract months and roll series: they are not futures contracts and not the official settlement or closing price of any market. Benchmark and comparison content on this site reflects our own observations under a stated methodology during a stated window. It is not exchange data, implies no affiliation, endorsement, or certification by any exchange, index provider, or market data vendor, and is not a measure of execution quality or a guarantee of future performance. Third-party names and marks are used for identification only and belong to their respective owners. Redistribution is prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing.

Technical use

API and WebSocket payloads are provided for integration testing, application development, analytics, and similar technical workflows.

CFD-style index and ETF-style reference symbols and commodity reference prices are indicative developer-facing values. They are not claims about ownership of any index, fund, or physical commodity.

Perpetual futures data

What it is. The Perpetuals feed publishes quotes, mark prices, trades, and bars for perpetual futures contracts, including contracts that reference shares, funds, indices, commodities, currencies, companies with no listed share, and crypto assets. Composite quotes and mark prices are values we calculate from several third-party perpetual futures markets. They are not executable prices, not the official mark, index, funding, closing, or settlement price of any venue, and not the price of any underlying on its primary market.

Data only. TickerLayer is a data provider. We do not list, offer, sell, broker, execute, clear, or settle any perpetual contract or other derivative, we do not operate a trading venue, and nothing in the feed is an offer, a solicitation, a recommendation, or investment advice.

Not the underlying. A perpetual contract is a leveraged derivative. It gives no ownership of, and no voting, dividend, distribution, or other rights in, any share, fund, commodity, currency, or company, and no claim against any issuer. Contracts that reference a company with no listed share are priced by the contract’s own market or by a venue’s model. They are not share transactions, and the company may never list.

Prices can diverge. A perpetual can trade away from its underlying, sometimes materially. This is most likely outside the underlying’s own trading hours, on weekends and holidays, and during halts, when liquidity is thinner, funding rates can move sharply, each venue applies its own pricing method, and prices can gap when the underlying market reopens. Venues treat dividends, splits, and other corporate actions differently or not at all, and our series are not adjusted for them.

Third-party inputs. Inputs are taken as the source markets publish them. Thin-market, erroneous, or manipulated prints can reach the feed; our checks reduce that risk and do not remove it. A venue can change, halt, settle, or delist a contract at its discretion, so a symbol, a series, or a source can change or end without notice.

Not a benchmark, not for settlement. Perpetuals data is not a regulated benchmark and we are not a benchmark administrator. Do not use it to settle, margin, liquidate, or value positions or financial instruments, to calculate a net asset value, to create an index or a financial product, or as an on-chain or automated price source, unless you have validated it for that purpose, built your own safeguards, and hold a written agreement with us that permits it. Any such use is at your own risk.

Names and affiliation. Company, fund, index, commodity, and product names and tickers identify what a contract references and belong to their owners. TickerLayer is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any issuer, listing exchange, index provider, fund manager, company, or trading venue. Index-style symbols are generic descriptions, not the official level of any index.

Your jurisdiction. Perpetual futures and similar derivatives, in particular on shares, are restricted or prohibited for some or all customers in a number of jurisdictions. The availability of data says nothing about whether a contract may lawfully be offered, traded, or marketed where you operate. Compliance with the laws that apply to you and to your users, including any licence or registration you need to display or distribute this data, is your responsibility. If you show Perpetuals data to your own users, you must give them these notices.

Futures CFD data

What it is. The Futures CFD feed publishes a reference price for each listed contract month of a futures market, for the first months of each market in order (C1 to C3), and for roll series that blend one month into the next on a schedule (R5, R5C, CYCLE, NOTICE). Each value is calculated by TickerLayer with its own methodology from third-party market data. It is not a futures contract, not executable, and not the official settlement, closing, daily, or index price of any contract month or market.

Data only. TickerLayer is a data provider. We do not list, offer, sell, broker, execute, clear, or settle any futures contract, contract for difference, or other derivative, we do not operate a trading venue, and nothing in the feed is an offer, a solicitation, a recommendation, or investment advice. The CFD in the name describes how the price is expressed, not a contract we enter into with you or anyone else.

Our own calendar. Last trade, first notice, and roll dates, roll windows, and roll weights come from TickerLayer’s own rules for each market and are published ahead of time. They can differ from the dates and weights used by any trading venue, index, fund, or trading platform that rolls the same market, and we can correct them when a market’s own calendar changes. A roll series is not adjusted for the price difference between months unless a field says so.

Prices can be missing or estimated. A contract month whose book is too wide to trust is published without a price. When a roll series needs a month that has no live price, it uses an estimate and marks it as estimated. Inputs are taken as third-party markets publish them, and thin, erroneous, or late prices can still reach the feed. A product, a month, or a series can change or end without notice.

Not a benchmark, not for settlement. Futures CFD data is not a regulated benchmark and we are not a benchmark administrator. Do not use it to settle, margin, liquidate, or value positions or financial instruments, to calculate a net asset value, to create an index or a financial product, or as an on-chain or automated price source, unless you have validated it for that purpose, built your own safeguards, and hold a written agreement with us that permits it. Any such use is at your own risk.

Names and affiliation. Product names and symbols describe the market a series references and do not use the codes or brands of any venue or index. TickerLayer is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any trading venue, clearing house, index provider, or benchmark administrator, and index-style products are generic descriptions, not the official level of any index.

Your jurisdiction. Futures, contracts for difference, and similar derivatives are restricted or prohibited for some or all customers in a number of jurisdictions. The availability of data says nothing about whether a contract may lawfully be offered, traded, or marketed where you operate. Compliance with the laws that apply to you and to your users is your responsibility. If you show Futures CFD data to your own users, you must give them these notices.

Public symbol pages

Prices, charts, ranges, performance figures, and company reference data shown on public symbol pages are delayed by at least fifteen minutes, are refreshed periodically rather than continuously, and are provided so that you can evaluate the Services. They are not a real-time quotation service and are not suitable as a basis for trading decisions.

Commodity reference prices are shown in the unit the API documents for that contract, for example US cents per pound for sugar and US cents per bushel for grains, and are not converted to a common currency unit.

Futures CFD product pages show reference prices as of the time stated on the page, refreshed periodically rather than continuously, for the same evaluation purpose.

Accuracy

Data does not come from the primary exchange or market of any instrument and may contain errors or differ from official market prices. Verify independently when accuracy matters for your use case.
