"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

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.
