Post From: Request Regarding GDFL NIFTY Futures Symbol Naming Convention

Hello, I am using the GDFL data feed with Sierra Chart for NSE futures. I have noticed that the NIFTY monthly futures symbol naming conventions do not match. Sierra Chart expects: NIFTYYYMMMFUT.NFO Example: `NIFTY26JULFUT.NFO` GDFL provides: NIFTYDDMMMYYFUT.NFO Example: `NIFTY28JUL26FUT.NFO` Because of this mismatch, Sierra Chart is unable to load the individual monthly NIFTY futures contracts from GDFL. As a workaround, I have to use the continuous futures symbol (`NIFTY-I.NFO`), which is not back-adjusted. This makes historical analysis and research considerably more difficult. Is it possible for Sierra Chart to support the GDFL symbol naming convention for NIFTY futures (or provide a symbol mapping/translation), so that the monthly contracts can be loaded directly? If there is already a recommended way to accomplish this, I would be grateful if you could point me to it. Thank you for your assistance. Nalin Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-07-08 16:52:38
