"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

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

Author	Topic: IQFeed Continuous emini Contract : ES (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)

If so what's the symbol? And if IQFeed has this - can it be used for multiday "Backfill" or Backfill As" when using QuoteTracker software? I'm interested in doing this when the @ESM5 rolls over to the September contract. Thx....

However, using @ES# is what you are looking for. Yes, backfill will recognize this symbol within QuoteTracker to pull intraday data. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets

This way you don't need to change your symbols in the portfolio when they roll. The data is the exact same, essentially you can think of @ES# as an alias to the currently trading month.
