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

Hi

I am planning to use IQFeed to get data into NT.

Where do I find information about the rollover information continuous contracts such as ES #C. When does the contracts rollover and is there any particular time the contracts are assumed to be rolled over.

Also, it is possible to view customized rollover , e.g. is the standard is to rollover 8 days before maturity and I want to rollover 9 days before maturity, is there any such mechanism?

You can locate our Roll Rules at www.iqfeed.net and Symbol Guide under the support Column. Locate the exchange where the symbol resides. You can now use Ctrl+F on a page and type in a partial of the symbol you are looking for.

EXAMPLE: @ES

You will be able to locate the symbol and to the right will be the roll rule based off of expiration date.

There is not a way to customize a roll rule. However you can choose to look at specific contracts.

@ES# - Front month of continuous contract.
@ES#C - Front month of continuous contract (back-adjusted)
@ESH19 - March 2019 Contract.
@ESM19 - June 2019 Contract
