Hi SCE,
Continuing on a question I posed in another user's thread (PostID=323673#P323673), I've got a trial of iqFeed, with several exchanges enabled, among them ICE EU & LIFFE. I'm trying to access Euribor futures spreads, e.g. IEZ22-IEH23. I can't locate Euribor anywhere in the Find Symbol menu, and if I go to Chart Settings for a new Chart and input symbol as 'IEZ22-IEH23.FUT_SPREAD.ICEEF' (ICEEF is iqFeed's designation for ICE EU), I get 'Symbol settings not found' and 'Download Failed' errors. Likewise for using 'ICEEU' as suffix instead.
I can locate such symbols using the 'Symbol Lookup/Search' tool on iqFeed's site.

Does this mean that this symbol & others like it must be programmatically added on your side?


P.S. I'd like to use Rithmic, given my past experience with them, but they don't offer most of the ICE EU/LIFFE instruments, even though those exchanges are listed on their website as being supported. IB doesn't have market depth for fut spreads. That leaves CTS or CQG as only alternatives, far as I can tell.

You need to use the IQ Feed Symbols exactly as they are provided by IQ Feed. You need to simply manually open a chart for them:

Thank you, the manual symbols are working.

And for logging the DOM/depth data, I must enable that in Global Settings->Symbol Settings...since I have a few dozen spread symbols per Chartbook, can I add one 'universal' symbol to the Symbols list (like done for futures with serial expirys when using SC Data as service), or must I add each individual symbol? For example, IEZ22-IEH23, IEH23-IEM23, etc could be represented by 1 symbol like 'IE?##-IE?##'...?

You can definitely use symbol patterns in the Global Symbol Settings.
