Analyze futures curve geometry, slope, and curvature to generate deterministic trading signals.

3 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides deterministic tools to analyze the shape of the futures curve. It allows AI agents to calculate the geometric properties of the term structure, including slope, curvature, and monotonicity. By using analyze_curve_shape, agents can identify contango or backwardation states. The evaluate_trading_signal tool generates specific BUY, SELL, or HOLD signals based on slope thresholds and moving averages, while select_optimal_contract identifies the best risk/reward contract based on liquidity and curve position.

Analyze the current futures curve shape using the provided pricing data.

The current curve shows a slope of -2.5% per month, indicating steep backwardation, with a curvature of 0.01.

Should I buy the front-month contract based on the current slope and price?

BUY signal: The slope is -2.8% and the front-month price is above its 20-day moving average.

Which contract is the best to trade right now?

The optimal contract is DEC-24 due to high liquidity and favorable roll yield in the current backwardation state.

A signal is considered significant if the change in slope compared to the previous period is greater than 1%.
