What is the correct syntax for entering a bar request for the e-minis (esu8, es u8 doesn't work)?

Thanx

Thank you. I was missing the space. I still have a problem. The bar request for the es minis cuts off the first couple of days but fills properly (sometimes) for the nq minis and other securities and indicies. In addition the server time appears to be incorrect. On the settings menu I set the time for my computer but on the intraday bar request I have to set the time 2 hours earlier to get the proper trading day interval.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I am seeing the same and I don't think the issue is with the server times but in QLink which is not computing the local timezone offsets correctly. I believe eSignal is aware of this issue at this point.
As a workaround [for the time being] try using Exchange Time in the Settings of QLink
Hope that helps

Q-link continues to cut off the first couple of days of a bar request on a sporatic basis, particularly the e-minis. Any idea as to why or a possible work-around?

Thanks,

You may want to post your Excel sheet [or a sample of the bar request] so that someone else can try to replicate the issue you are seeing and possibly suggest a workaround. If you are attaching the Excel file you will need to zip it as xls is not a valid extension for the forum. Also you may want to provide details on your QLink settings ie the Date/Time Settings and your timezone
