Guide to E-mini
Futures Symbols
If you have an E-mini Futures subscription, just type in
"ES/1.F" or "NQ/1.F" to get a chart for the nearest
expiring month for the S&P 500 E-mini or Nasdaq
100.
- To find a quote or chart for the contract month you are
interested in, the format is:
SM/my.F where SM/ = Symbol Root,
m=Month, y=Year and .F indicates
a Futures instrument. See some examples
- To find the nearest expiring month of a future in IQ
Chart, the format is:
SM/1.F where SM/ = Symbol Root
If you are using an older version of iqchart (4.2
or older), substitute the character '_' for '/' as these versions of IQ Chart don't
allow the forward slash character in symbols. For example, in version 4.2 of
the IQ Chart client software the latest expiring contract for the S & P 500
would be ES_1.F instead of ES/1.F.
With any version of the client software you can now prefix a symbol for an
intraday chart with the '^' character to ignore trading before 9:30 AM and
after 4:15 PM to provide market hours only charts.
