) Outrights Data: Only until Sept/Oct 2015 from Amp through CQG Fix (how can i get more historical data)
Spread Charts:
For more complex/synthetic spreads i.e. not exchange calendars, i am trying to chart present and historic charts like below. You can chart using SPREAD or BAR command.. I am looking to get candlesticks and NOT just lines (lines work fine)
a1) BAR(CLES1Z8-CLES1Z9,1) - this works with candlesticks but data is only until July 18
a2) If i put in the same as SPREAD(CLES1Z8-CLES1Z9), i get a line chart all the way until Oct 2015
Now historical,
b1) SPREAD(CLES1Z6-CLES1Z7) - nothing shows up (says contract not available)
b2) BAR(CLES1Z6-CLES1Z7,1) - nothing shows up and says CLES1Z7 contract not available (though CLES1z16 and cles1z17 both show up)
I tried this using full year - still nothing but no error message
SPREAD(CLES1Z16-CLES1Z17) - this shows up using the full year but of course only line
Butterflies:
c1) BAR(CLES1Z18-2*CLES1F19+CLES1G19,1) this works with candlesticks but data is only until July 18
c2) Tried the same with historical data BAR(CLES1Z16-2*CLES1F17+CLES1G17,1) and nothing shows up
Sorry I can't help you with options, I know absolutely nothing about them.
As for outrights, I see daily bars back to Sept/Oct 2015 same as you. Smaller time frames, e.g. 5 mins bar I see only 3 months back. That's how much I'm told QTrader holds.
You could probably get more historical data through CQG, it'll cost you though.
CQG Integrated Client can really add up, a friend pays around $1400 for 2 exchanges in IC, if you add OTC treasury data it can really, really add up. 30k for data is unbelievable for me considering I use DTN IQ but to each his own. Maybe he uses CQG IC, every exchange, Bloomberg and Thompson Reuters?
I'm not sure if you meant me but I don't think he has that and unless someone wants to correct me the CME bundle is a data feed similar to DTN IQ Feed, the bundle is an execution feed from your broker.
More than 10 years ago I asked them about Index data with IC and it was in the $700 to $900 per month range. On top of the software if I remember correctly.
This thread is regarding the retail Q Trader (which I am sure you know). Information about IC may be elsewhere, don't know.
I have 2 CQG accounts and im getting the runaround from both CQG, Bookmap and the FCMs
I know u cannot share a CQG account so i have 2 CQG accounts from 2 different FCMs
Each CQG login works with Bookmap and with Qtrader separately
BUT
At the same time, when i login to Q trader (not even the FCM for trading), it boots me out of Bookmap or vice versa.. if i am in Qtrader and login to Bookmap with the other FCM ID, it boots me out
So
a) Is anyone in this situation
b) Any advice OTHER than creating a second CQG account with the same FCM or using Rithmic for Bookmap
How about running the 2 on 2 different machines? (though this is not ideal)
Note: I have a feeling something to do with CQG Fix or WebAPI shared on the same machine
