Author	Topic: IQ Feed- Can't Backfill the March Globex Currencies (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)
patrick -Interested User- Posts: 4 Joined: Dec 15, 2004	Posted: Dec 15, 2004 12:40 PM Msg. 1 of 6 Hello- I have been using QT with IQFeed for backfilling with IB as my real time feed. And all has been going fine. But since last Friday I have been trying without luck in getting the IQFeed to backfill the march globex currencies (But strangely, the globex march JY backfills just fine). I can backfill the graphs for the upcoming March contracts, but not most currencies, for which I just get no "raw data" I tried clearing all the data, and then right clicking on the H5 symbol and Backfilling the regular way and also using QT's "Backfill As" option and using the @..H5 symbol. Summary: I get Globex:@6JH5 just fine AND- I get Globex:@6SZ4 I get Globex:@6EZ4 I get Globex:@6BZ4 BUT- I do not get Globex:@6SH5 I do not get Globex:@6EH5 I do not get Globex:@6BH5 But I see that the IQFeed is getting through to me because when I put in a symbol that I had never used before [TYH5] it backfilled just fine. It is just those March currency symbols, other than the JYH5 Very strange- any ideas? Thank you. Patrick

For a list of all CME contracts (including Globex) and the IQFeed symbology, please visit our online symbol guide. http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed&guide=commod&web=IQFeed&symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&type=cme This is a list of all CME contracts, so the one you are trying to match up with IB symbology should be there.

However when I replace the "M4" with an "H5" I cannot get IQFeed to backfill. As I said in my posting I am using these symbols, which come from your symbol guide: See, from above: "I get Globex:@6JH5 just fine AND- I get Globex:@6SZ4 I get Globex:@6EZ4 I get Globex:@6BZ4 BUT- I do not get Globex:@6SH5 I do not get Globex:@6EH5 I do not get Globex:@6BH5" An incorrect symbol does not seem to be my problem.

We don't have that symbol. Thus, QT may be converting symbology from IB to something on IQFeed. We also don't have any @6 symbols/symbology at all. You say you are getting this from our symbol guide, however, since we don't have any of these symbols as you post them, I am curious what symbol guide you are looking at (please send a link to the exact page you are getting this symbology from). If you tell us what currencies you are trying to access (since I have no idea what @6 represents), we can try to match that with IQFeed symbology. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

It may be helpful to others that are in the same situation as you (using IQFeed and IB). Thanks - glad you were able to resolve it. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
