Ceating Continuous Contract

Postby momentum » 01 Mar 2013

I am trying to create a continuous futures contract for the DAX using eSignal data.

The individual quaterly contracts exist in the QuoteManager.

I go to INSTRUMENTS > ADD CUSTOM FUTURES. I select the data source from the drop down, give a name to my proposed continuous futures contract and try and pick the Symbol Root from the drop down. However, there is no AX present in the list.

What am I missing?

TIA

Hello momentum,

You need to add a symbol root manually if it is missing for your data provider in the Symbol Dictionary list in the QuoteManager.
Here is how to add symbol roots to the dictionary.
