Continuous backadjusted contracts with IQFeed in QuoteManage  [SOLVED]

I'm trying to determine how to get continuous backadjusted contracts from IQFeed into MC via the QuoteManager.

For example, when I do a contract search for natural gas by symobl, the quote manager finds QNG#. I click "Add", and then when I create a new chart both QNG# and QNG#C (backadjusted) are available in the "Instrument" dialog. However when I try the same with QCL#, the only contract available when adding to the chart is QCL#, with no QCL#C available. This appears to be the case with the grain contracts (@W, @S, and @C) as well as a few others.

Is there something I'm missing in order to get these backadjusted contracts to be available in the Insert Instrument dialog.

Thanks,

Hello Rob,

You can simply add QCL# and rename it into QCL#C , then add QCL# again.
Do the same with @W, @S, and @C.

I renamed @S# to @S#C in the quote manager, and then attempted to create a new chart with the renamed symbol. The continuous contract still says Soybeans May 2013 (whereas other continuous backadjusted contracts don't list the expiration month), and there is still a noticeable break on 5/15/13 when the previous contract expired. (See attached image).

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks,

In most cases IQFeed continuous symbols have the front month in the description. Description is static and can be changed manually or can be overwritten if you re-add the symbol from the data provider.

1) Make sure "Merging Data sources into a single chart" is disabled in Format->Instrument->Instrument tab for your @S#C chart.
2) In MultiCharts go to File tab->Preferences->Data server mode
Make sure you are in online mode, "download missing historical data" is enabled
3) Reload the incorrect chart (View->Reload)

Thanks Henry, that fixed it.
