"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

Hi,

(not sure if this forum is the right place for this issue; please feel free to move this post if appropriate)

Does IQFeed provide historical data (daily and intraday) for continous contracts on futures (and options?) ?

Sample:
Is there some "special" symbol for the ES to retrieve a complete series of daily data for the last 2 years including automatic rollovers?
If so: On what condition will the contracts be rolled ? A fixed date ? Volume based ? Else ?

Regards

Not at this time. Continuous contracts are partially implemented on the feed, but haven't been released while we test the rollover process. Our symbology will be @ES#(emini), C# (corn), etc. when released.

Thanks for letting me know.

Would be great if you could throw out some information on the rollover process (time/volume based ...) when this feature will be released.
