"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

Author	Topic: Historical Data - Lumber @LB#C (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Cyberjoe -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Aug 18, 2016	Posted: Aug 18, 2016 10:15 AM Msg. 1 of 6 Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it looks as if the daily, continuous Lumber futures data is only available as of October 2008. I am using NinjaTrader 8 and MultiCharts. Can someone please help? Furthermore, is there any overview of all continuous futures, where I could see how far the data goes back?

Can you be more specific on how we can further assist you with this symbol and the attached data? Would you like to see additional historical data before October 2008?

Actually, I am surprised that there is no data before Oct 2008. Lumber futures have been around forever :-) Other data vendors have daily data going back to the 1960s. Do you have a factsheet summarizing the availability of data for all or the most frequently traded futures? I could not find anything specific except for the general description which suggests that some US futures go back "as far as 1959". http://www.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?displayaction=data§ion=services Best, Cyberjoe

Our daily historical data goes back to March 24th, 1994. Unfortunately we do not have a Facts sheet summarizing the available data on the most frequently traded futures.

DTN_Stephen -DTN Guru- Posts: 453 Joined: Aug 22, 2014	Posted: Aug 19, 2016 12:55 PM Msg. 6 of 6 @ - Electronic contracts. Leaving off the @ will lead you to the old Pit traded contracts and in some examples there is additional information out there for back-testing purposes.
