Symbol Guide

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>

See the '''[[Symbol_Guide#Month_Codes|Month Codes]]''' section for reference.
