Hello, I just wanted to correct something on your CQG symbols to chart options, you mention that : "Example option symbol: C.EPH152100. This is a call option with strike price 2100 for the S&P 500 mini futures for March 2015." This doesn't work, as CQG requires an extra zero at the end of the options strike, and it still requires the C.US.xxxetc for the symbol to get pulled on your system. Therefor the proper working symbol is C.US.EPU1622000 (note the extra zero on the end) This works fine for me, any other variation will not load a chart with data Cheers - J |

OK we will update the documentation. We just took that direct from the CQG documentation.

I think they changed it at some point to allow for higher numbers, adding another digit. I might put together a list of all exchange traded spreads and their symbols, if that would help. |
