"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

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"I will tell others who want to go into trading that DTN ProphetX is an invaluable tool, I don't think anyone can trade without it..." - Comment from Luther

"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

I have found the Dow (INDU.X). However, I have yet to find the other common ones such as: NASDAQ S&P500 FTSE CAC40 DAX I need help in identifying all of the major world market indices. Thanks Anil

TonyGamble -Interested User- Posts: 6 Joined: Oct 4, 2005	Posted: Oct 4, 2005 02:26 AM Msg. 5 of 8 ftii.x is not the FTSE 100 or the All Share. It is the 250 which is not a particularly meaningful index. Does anyone know what the 100 and/or the All Share are, please. They are not evident on the symbol look up on this site.

Since we only had one user who was watching those indexes, we terminated our agreement to carry them in real time. We are looking at adding them back in with delayed data however. I will post more information when I have a better timeline available. You can access the Futures on the Index (LFZ5), or use FIY.X which will provide the FTSE 100 with a single EOD update each day.

I don't really need the info as I have it on my UK feeds. It would simply have been handy to include the symbol in my QuoteTracker portfolio to reduce the number of windows open. Having just had to re-code the QuoteTracker display to show upward moving figures in Blue (as we do in the Old World) instead of your green I surmised that not a lot of UK investors are using your (compared with our) splendid services.
