See the [[Interactive Brokers]] guide to set up the data connection.<br>
Interactive Brokers provide native continuous contracts. The symbols start with '''@''', like '''@ES'''.<brdiv 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)''': '''ESM4'''<br>
To ensure correct symbol parameters, we recommend adding symbols from data source in QuoteManager → Instrument → Add Symbol → From Data Source.
