Constructing custom future

Hello,

I want to construct custom future on the cac40 future symbol FCE
but I don't find the symbol on common information, symbol root of the quote manager?

Thanks for help,

Hello houss75,

Which data provider do you use? Have you studied the Custom futures guide?

Hello,

I'm using interactive broker as data provider.
yes I studied the custom futures guide.

Rgds,

Please add the symbols from the data source.
In QuoteManager please go to Instrument tab->Add symbol->From data source-> IB->Futures->CAC40->Lookup.

In order to create a custom futures please add CAC40 symbol root into the IB Symbol Dictionary:Adding symbol roots to the dictionary

Hello Henry

I added cac40 symbol root on IB Symbol Dictionary and it works well.
So I plotted a cac 40 chart with the symbol CAC40_11VOC^FGHJKMNQUVXZ
because on quote manager I selected all contract to use.
Is that mean that the rolling will know by automated?

When I plotted this symbol on the chart window I have this message:
"To construct custom future please add the following:
J contract for cac40 root for 2014"

Where can I add the J contract?

I want to construct a custom future on the cac40 with ASCII data prior to actual contract
is it possible?

Thanks

You can create the old contracts, then import the ascii into them.
