Usage

Load DBN Files (Python)

import databento as db

# Load ES.FUT data
store = db.DBNStore.from_file("test_data/ES_FUT_180d.dbn")
for record in store:
    if hasattr(record, 'close'):
        print(f"Time: {record.ts_event}, Close: {record.close}")

Load DBN Files (Rust)

use dbn::{decode::DbnDecoder, RecordEnum};
use std::fs::File;

let file = File::open("test_data/ES_FUT_180d.dbn")?;
let mut decoder = DbnDecoder::new(file)?;

for record in decoder.decode()? {
    match record {
        RecordEnum::Ohlcv(ohlcv) => {
            println!(
                "Time: {}, O: {}, H: {}, L: {}, C: {}, V: {}",
                ohlcv.ts_event, ohlcv.open, ohlcv.high,
                ohlcv.low, ohlcv.close, ohlcv.volume
            );
        }
        _ => continue,
    }
}

Known Issues

1. ZN.FUT Partial Dataset

Issue: Only 90 days downloaded (instead of 180) Reason: Databento symbology resolution failure for "ZN.FUT" symbol Impact: Non-blocking - 90 days (142,487 bars) sufficient for initial TFT training Resolution: Download remaining 90 days in Wave 13 before production deployment Workaround: Concatenated 90 existing DBN files from October 13, 2025 download

2. NQ.FUT Price Outlier

Issue: Low price of $184.20 detected (vs. expected $16,000-$21,000 range) Impact: May affect feature extraction and model training Resolution: Apply price filtering during feature engineering (outlier <$1,000) Action:

// Filter outliers during data loading
let valid_bars: Vec<_> = bars.iter()
    .filter(|bar| bar.close > 1000.0 && bar.close < 30000.0)
    .collect();

3. ES.FUT Degraded Quality Days

Issue: 2 days flagged with degraded quality (2025-09-17, 2025-09-24) Impact: Minor - may have missing or incomplete bars on those days Resolution: Monitor during validation, gaps are <0.1% threshold Action: Acceptable for ML training, no intervention required

API Configuration

API Key: db-95LEt9gtDRPJfc55NVUB5KL3A3uf6 (Databento free tier) Dataset: GLBX.MDP3 (CME Globex MDP 3.0) Rate Limiting: 10 requests/minute (6-second delays configured) Total Cost: $2.38 (32% under $3.50 budget)

Symbol Formats Used

Symbol	Format Used	Notes
ES.FUT	ES.c.0	Continuous front-month contract
NQ.FUT	NQ.FUT	Parent symbol with stype_in="parent"
6E.FUT	6EH4, 6EM4, 6EU4, 6EZ4	Quarterly contracts (2-digit year format)
ZN.FUT	ZN.FUT	Concatenated 90 existing files

Symbology Lessons Learned

1. ES.FUT: Use continuous contract format ES.c.0 (root.roll_rule.rank)
2. NQ.FUT: Use parent symbol with stype_in="parent" parameter
3. 6E.FUT: Use 2-digit year quarterly contracts (e.g., 6EH4 not 6EH24)
4. ZN.FUT: Symbology resolution issues - use alternative approach or investigate with Databento support
