IVolAI Now Backtests Futures Options and Global Markets
June 15, 2026
IVolatility is excited to announce a major expansion of IVolAI, its AI-powered options backtesting module: native support for futures options and multi-market coverage across five global regions. Traders and quants can now design, run, and optimize strategies far beyond the U.S. equity universe—just by describing what they want in plain language.
What's New
Futures Options Support
IVolAI now backtests options on futures end to end. Integrated discovery endpoints expose the full futures catalog—roots, contracts, multipliers, currencies, and expiries—across global markets, so IVolAI can find tradable instruments and backtest them directly: index, energy, rates, metals, FX, and crypto, in the U.S. and internationally.
Five Markets, One Agent
IVolAI now spans USA, Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America. Whether you're modeling U.S. equity options, European index options, or Asian benchmarks, IVolAI routes to the correct regional dataset automatically—no manual setup required.
Why It Matters
Option strategies don't stop at U.S. equities—and now neither does IVolAI. From selling premium on crude-oil futures to running index-option strategies on European and Asian benchmarks, you can test ideas across asset classes and continents through a single chat, with historically accurate contract specs. And because IVolAI is AI-powered, it can even check its own work—if a backtest returns no trades or results look off, just point it out and IVolAI will diagnose and correct it.
