Hi SC team,
for tradable symbols that are not supported by SC real-time data feed but supported by CQG, which format should I use, F.US.XXXX6 or F.US.XXXX16? I can get data for both but the question is which data are correct. Since recently there is a big difference in data. Thanks.

Always use two digit years.

Even if data with two digit year do not seem correct? Why I can receive data with one digit format then? I'll post screenshots later, busy now.

One thing we know for sure is if you are using both of these symbols at the same time, that most likely is going to create a data mapping conflict due to the fact that these probably have the same contract identifiers on the CQG side.

Use only one of them and reconnect to the data feed after this.

Okay, thanks for the hint. Will try it next week. Unrelated question - any progress on this? This is very useful feature especially for spread traders. Thank you in advance.

Nothing further yet with Forward Curves. There are other higher priority tasks we need to finish with first.

This is also not so easy to accomplish with the way charts are currently designed.
