== 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 in : 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.
