Hi there,

Your charts look to be setup correctly, for downloading day only session data on this contract.
Please setup and use QBS 1! to download day/night combined data for this contract. Or use QBS #F

I am including a link to our knowledge base to help you understand the difference between our fixed #F data and our more flexible 1! data here

Kind Regards,

[Catano]

Hello ShaheedM,

the QBS #F symbol is perfekt. Can you tell me the symbols from the other Commodities like cacao, coffee, sugar etc.

many thanks
Catano

Hi ShaheedM,

thank you very much for the symbols and the links.

Can you give me an example, how i can setup the Feeder Cattle Chart (FC #F), so that there are now rollover gaps in the Chart below.

#F symbols have pre-coded rules for each roll-over. Users can't alter the configuration of #F symbols but you can create your own custom symbol and use whatever roll-over rules you want. You might have missed the link Shaheed posted initially.

http://kb.esignalcentral.com/article.asp?article=2258&p=1

The above KB link attempts to explain the difference between #F symbols and user-configured symbols. It then steps through how to set them up.

Thanks.

One of the challenges of continuous contracts is there is not a specific or standard set of rules. Some people want continuous price action to the end of a contract, while others want the data to track the volume so cut-overs occur when the next contract becomes more active than the current.

That's the benefit of the continuous contract tool we've incorporated into eSignal. You get to choose when the contracts roll.

I'd suggest you simply experiment with the settings for each one and you'll eventually find the combination you're looking for.

Thanks.
