"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Hello.

I saw in past release notes that you guys support historical futures data. However, when I look at the Java sample code and the API docs, I don't see clearly where I can submit queries for historical data. Do you guys support this and if so what API call(s) do I need to make in order to query this data?

Thanks!

There are no specific API calls for a historical futures contract. Just access them like any other historical data request using the original symbol such as @ESZ13. Be sure to make sure your filters accommodate the timeframe you expect to receive though. If you are looking for data from 2013 and only ask for the past 90 days, you will get no results as the server interprets a request 90 days back as 90 calendar days from current.
