Author	Topic: eMiniNY Crude and Natural Gas Not in Symbol Directory Since Moving Back to NYMEX (9 messages, Page 1 of 1)
sd_cm -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Aug 23, 2004	Posted: Jul 19, 2005 10:03 AM Msg. 1 of 9 I've noticed these contracts (e.g. @QMU5 and @QNU5) are no longer in the symbols directory after moving from GLOBEX back to NYMEX in June. The last contract in the symbol directory for both of these is July 05. We process the symbol directory programatically and therefore are missing these products. Can these be added back to the symbol directory so the directory actually matches what is available on IQFeed? Thanks, Scott Symbol Directory on 7/19/05 missing symbols after 7/05: @QG# EMINI NATURAL GAS JUL 2005 NYMEX @QGK5 EMINI NATURAL GAS MAY 2005 NYMEX @QGM5 EMINI NATURAL GAS JUN 2005 NYMEX @QGN5 EMINI NATURAL GAS JUL 2005 NYMEX @QM# EMINI CRUDE OIL JUL 2005 NYMEX @QMK5 EMINI CRUDE OIL MAY 2005 NYMEX @QMM5 EMINI CRUDE OIL JUN 2005 NYMEX @QMN5 EMINI CRUDE OIL JUL 2005 NYMEX

sd_cm -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Aug 23, 2004	Posted: Jul 20, 2005 09:43 AM Msg. 5 of 9 Furthermore I noticed the missing symbols are available in the symbol lookup page on http://www.iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=lookup&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed, but if the link is clicked at the top of the page to download the symbols from http://www.dtniq.com/product/mktsymbols.zip The missing symbols are indeed missing from this file. Shouldn't the downloadable file match the searchable database on the web page? Please reconcile the downloadable symbol database to current symbols. Thanks.

Looks like a process to update the downloadable file hasn't been running. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
sd_cm -Interested User- Posts: 22 Joined: Aug 23, 2004	Posted: Jul 25, 2005 12:55 PM Msg. 7 of 9 Thanks. The file is still incorrect. We use this file to save you guys the bandwidth of having to query the IQFeed every time for a symbol or option. Do you have a date by which the process will be back up and running?

Hopefully we will be able to have it running again by the end of the day unless it is a larger issue. Will post when I have more info on its status. Thank you for your patience!

We are still working on the .zip process. Thus, instead of mktsymbols.zip, pull mktsymbols.txt. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
