== Interactive Brokers Futures Symbols == | |||
See the '''[[Interactive Brokers]]''' guide to set up the data connection.<br> | |||
Interactive Brokers provide native continuous contracts. The symbols start with '''@''', like '''@ES'''.<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 one-digit '''year code (Y)''', e.g., '''ESM4'''<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> | |||
Interactive Brokers Futures can be searched by root (e.g. '''ES''') or full symbol name (e.g. '''ESM4''').<br> | |||
To see expired contracts in the search results, check the '''Include Expired Contracts''' box. | |||
