Using WTI History for Margin Zone and Option Level Backtesting

The same interest rate drift that affects today's margin zones and option levels for WTI was present in every past contract too. Pulling the archived forward points for 2026 lets you reconstruct what the forward-adjusted zones and levels actually looked like at any given date, instead of assuming spot price alone told the full story.

This is useful for backtesting: if a margin zone or option level for WTI held up historically once forward points were factored in, that's a stronger signal than one based on spot data that ignored the interest rate differential entirely.
