Base symbol is meant to map the data feed specific symbol base For example, ESH17 => ES ESH7 => ES etc. The need for this often comes up for licensing purposes but has also come up in other projects over the years. In the context of licensing, the requirement is to allow user access to only specific markets. We can create our own map for this but this is something that would make more sense to have as part of the product - Wanted to see if it is this on your roadmap and could you add this into the product as an ACSIL function?

We can add this member: sc.SCDataFeedSymbol This will provide a standardized symbol across Supported Data/Trading Services. The symbol will not contain a month and year but it will contain pattern characters. It is not going to be set in all cases, but will be set for futures contracts.

The symbol will not contain a month and year but it will contain pattern characters. What do you mean by this? For example, IQ Feed might have @ESH17 and Transact will have ESH7 In case of transact, I will get ES, in the cast of IQ Feed @ES? |

For example, it will be ES?## It will be consistently this particular symbol for ES futures contracts symbols. However, this data feed symbol will not be set in the case of IQ Feed. But there are very few users of that data feed. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

just to see I understand All futures symbols would have format <Base Symbol>?## Except for IQ Feed Base symbol's would be provided as a list on your web site or something like that? |

Yes. In the case of the CME futures the base symbols can be determined from the contract specifications on the CME website. They are the same. In the case of ICE and EUREX, use the symbols found here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChart_RealTime_And_Historical_Symbols.php&SymbolsPage=Futures Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Got it And if IQ Feed is not possible, would it make sense to add a setting for this in the symbol settings? So that user can enter "ES" override your value if/when needed. Does that make sense at all? |

Perhaps. But it is one of the suggestions that we have no time to even get to any time soon.

Ok, right now in order to deal with this on our end, we normally have two options: 1. Add an input and let the user set the base symbol 2. Parse the chart title or chart symbol and try figure out the symbol on our own If we need to do this for IQ Feed, it might not be worth your trouble so to speak. In short, I need to check a few things on our end and will follow up on this thread. |

There is an easier way for us to solve this. We can set up the SC Data Feed symbols for IQ Feed as well. We will do that today or sometime this week. No reason for you to spend any further time on this. The sc.SCDataFeedSymbol new ACSIL structure member has already been added and released.

I am attaching here an excel with a list of symbols. I can imagine that this list will want to grow in the future. Let me know if this is ok - or not |

We will work on this over the next few days and get the common symbols set up for IQ Feed.

We have started testing using SC Data - All Services and so far it is looking good. One thing I don't get though - the symbol for ES comes out ES?## as you described. Will it always be ?##? If yes, why not strip away the ?## and just leave the base symbol so the its more clean? Not that its a big deal, but just got me thinking maybe I am missing something? |

Yes there will always be ?## at the end. That symbol is not intended to be the base symbol. It can be used for that purpose but you need to strip out the extra characters.
