IQFeed provides native continuous contracts. The symbols start with '''@''' and contain # at the end, like '''@ES#'''. There are also back adjusted instruments with C at the end: '''@ES#C'''.<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Continuous contracts are not tradable. For trading they should be mapped to front-month contracts. See the '''[[How to Set Up Symbol Mapping]]''' guide.</div> | |||
Individual contract names consist of a '''symbol root''' (like '''ES'''), '''month code (M)''', and two-digit '''year code (YY)'''. Some symbol names start with '''@''' e.g., '''@ESM24'''<br> | |||
See the '''[[Symbol_Guide#Month_Codes|Month Codes]]''' section for reference. | |||
To ensure correct symbol parameters, we recommend adding symbols from data source: QuoteManager → Instrument → Add Symbol → From Data Source.<br> | |||
It’s possible to load the entire IQFeed symbol list by entering '''*''' into the search field and clicking '''Lookup'''. | |||
Individually IQFeed symbols can be searched by root (e.g. '''ES'''), a part of or full symbol name (e.g. '''ESM'''), and description (e.g. '''E-MINI''') .<br> | |||
You can find symbol roots in the '''[[Symbol_Guide#Futures_Symbols|Futures Symbols]]''' table above or in the IQFeed app.<br> | |||
