Supported Assets

Stratifyre supports 10 asset classes spanning traditional equities, derivatives, digital assets, and more. This page provides detailed information on each asset class, including where the data comes from, how much history is available, and what you can do with it.

US Equities (EQ)

US equities are the most widely traded asset class on Stratifyre, covering stocks listed on all major American exchanges.

Detail	Value
Ticker count	10,000+
Exchanges	NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, ARCA, BATS, and more
History	20+ years
Data provider	Databento
Corporate actions	70+ types handled automatically (splits, dividends, mergers, spin-offs, etc.)

US equities include both currently listed and historically delisted securities, which is critical for avoiding survivorship bias in backtests. Stratifyre tracks historical index composition so your S&P 500 backtest in 2010 uses the actual S&P 500 members from 2010 – not today’s list.

Tip

If you are building a strategy on US stocks, start with one of the built-in baskets (S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000) to get broad market coverage without manually adding hundreds of tickers.

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF)

ETFs give you access to entire sectors, indices, commodities, and thematic strategies through a single instrument.

Note

Continuous contracts in Stratifyre automatically stitch together individual contract months so you can backtest futures strategies over long periods without manually handling roll dates. See Instruments for details on how continuous contracts work.

Cryptocurrency (CRYPTO)

Cryptocurrency data comes directly from Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume, providing 24/7/365 coverage.

Detail	Value
Exchange	Binance

Trading hours	24/7/365

Options (OPT)

Equity and index options provide access to derivatives pricing and strategy development.

Detail	Value
Types	Equity options, index options
Underlyings	Major US stocks and indices
History	Varies by underlying
Data provider	Databento

Options data includes strike prices, expirations, and standard greeks. This allows you to build and backtest options-specific strategies alongside your equity and futures work.

Forex (FX)

Foreign exchange data covers the major and cross currency pairs traded in global markets.

Detail	Value
Pairs	Major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY) and cross pairs (EUR/GBP, AUD/NZD, etc.)
History	Multi-year history
Trading hours	Nearly 24 hours on weekdays
Data provider	Databento

Forex markets operate nearly around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening (US time), making them accessible to traders in all time zones.

Commodities (CMDTY)

Commodities data provides access to raw material pricing, primarily through futures contracts.

Detail	Value
Products	Energy (oil, gas), metals (gold, silver), agriculture (corn, wheat)
Access	Primarily via futures contracts
History	Via futures contract history
Data provider	Databento

Most commodity trading on Stratifyre is done through the futures asset class, but the CMDTY classification is available for commodity-specific data that is not tied to a specific futures contract.

Indices (INDEX)

Index data lets you track major market benchmarks and use them as filters or context in your strategies.

Detail	Value
Indices	S&P 500, NASDAQ Composite, Dow Jones, Russell 2000, VIX, and more
History	Long-term history available
Data provider	Databento

Index data is commonly used as a market regime filter – for example, “only take long trades when the S&P 500 is above its 200-day moving average.”

Tip

While you cannot trade an index directly, you can use index values as conditions in your strategy rules. Pair an index filter with tradable instruments (like stocks or ETFs) for market-aware strategies.

Exchange-Traded Notes (ETN)

ETNs are debt instruments that track an underlying index or strategy, often used for volatility and leveraged exposure.

Detail	Value
Products	VXX, UVXY, and other volatility/leveraged products
History	Full listing history
Data provider	Databento

ETNs can behave very differently from ETFs due to their debt structure, contango effects, and potential for termination events. Stratifyre’s historical data captures these characteristics accurately.

Mutual Funds (MF)

Select mutual fund data is available for long-term strategy analysis and portfolio-level backtesting.

Detail	Value
Coverage	Select funds
History	Varies by fund
Data provider	Databento

Mutual fund data is primarily useful for portfolio allocation strategies and long-term asset allocation backtests.
