It does not seem like the Contango % is being updated properly. It has been above 30% for the past few days.
 
FWIW:
1) Saw your post today (7/12/23) and looked at program I run that should update those values every 5 minutes. Noticed that the code is now receiving error code 403 in response to posting the information to the Web page. Unclear why that error is occurring. Something changed, not yet sure what or where!
2) Noticed that I was able to manually post the data without issue.
3) However, Tom has code that should also be updating that info which is not occurring properly.

I have been out of the country for the last week, so have not been keeping eye on my posting process.
 
The hosting company made some changes for security. I'll see if we can get your access restored Gary :)
 
IFF you use TOS, I have a thinkscript I wrote and have been using for years for tracking contango of the /VX futures. Ping if you have interest.
See lower study below:
Thanks Gary. Yes, I would like to get the study.

I do have other ways I monitor the volatility curve, mainly via product depth of /VX, and a few others, but would like to see your study.

Tom: I do not know when that "403" error started occurring. It is possible that has been occurring for a very long time, as I only was observing the market lights as an indication the updates were occurring, however the updates may have been from your process instead of mine! -- I only instrumented for checking for error response this week, and noticed they were being rejected unless issued manually.
Let me know if there is anything I can do.
 
Looks like it is back in synch with vixcentral.
I did another manual post a few minutes ago {I think that is what you observed}. It appears to not be being updated from either of the automated processes currently (mine or Tom's) presently.
 
I forgot to turn on my price updater spreadsheet this morning...sorry :)

It was when I first looked at it, but now is not.

Tom: I suspect your tool is grabbing the incorrect /VX futures prices/products as the Contango being reported is way off! +51% when it is more like 14-15% range. -- When I pass the /VX futures prices to your url, the correct Contango is reported.
 
FYI: both reporting mechanisms for Market Sentiment are working! (Tom's and mine as a backup)

Thanks Gary. While I can and do monitor market sentiment in various other ways, I had gotten in the habit of checking the Aeromir meter as well.
