How to get futures & options roll return data

How can I get futures & options roll return data, that is , to get futures roll yield?

Total Return ≈ Spot Price Return + Futures Roll Yield.

For example, I'd like to calculate return when I invest VIX futures from 2000/1/1 to 2019/9/30.

Unlike spot price, my equity curve should be strongly down shoulder because of its negative carry.

However, VXc1, VIX future continuation month1, seems to be future's spot price not including roll cost.

Hi @zeusu.sato


In my best understanding of the question, it is about content.

The members of the developer community and the moderators of the forum may have some understanding of the content involved. We aim to answer the question if our answer can be of help.

However, the in-depth understanding of specific content requires the knowledge of an expert in that content area.
