Author	Topic: IQFeed Continuous emini Contract : ES (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
sharpshorts -Interested User- Posts: 14 Joined: Aug 16, 2004	Posted: Jun 8, 2005 12:35 PM Msg. 1 of 4 I remember reading somewhere that IQFeed has a Continuous contract symbol for the ES emini . 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.
