Are there other symbols (for example ES Z3, SP Z3, etc) in the GlobalServer Portfolio?
If not you will have to insert them in Portfolio first after which you can download the data for them using the Plugin.
If instead they are available in the Portfolio could you post a screenshot of your Portfolio?

Everything seems to be ok, but when i try to download the futures list (eminis, dax and estoxx) i see only the following symbols:

SP H0
SP M0
SP Z9

HEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEE.

Thanksssssss.......

The =2 equity index contracts are rolled over according to exchange decree ie on the day prior to the second Friday of the expiration month.
As far as I can tell liquidity simply switches on that day with regards to the minis.
For the "all session" symbol instead eSignal does the rollover at the open of the session of the rollover day ie on Wednesday at 15:45 CT to avoid switching contracts at 08:30 CT which would be midstream in the session

Hi Alexis,

When is the rollover of the ES#F=2 contract actually done?

I've noticed that about a week before expiration of the front contract, most traders switch to the next contract and the liquidity drops off considerably for the front month contract.

Does esignal rollover based on liquidity changes or is rollover done on expiraton day?

Thanks

Actually you still have the option to add ES #F=2 as a RTH Stock/Index symbol as that is different than ES #F

To add to Scott's reply it is relatively easy to apply back adjustments in GlobalServer anyhow.

Alexis,
In my symbol portfolio I have both ES #F(for regular trading hours chart) and ES U3... Z3 etc. (for 24 hours trading chart).
Something has to be deleted(I'm not going to do it anyway).

No we do not. We have just the #F symbol to creat continuous contracts and they are not back-adjusted.

Eventually, we want the control for these sorts of symbols to move from our servers to the user's desktop so they can customize for their own needs.

Thanks.

Hi Alexis,

You mentioned the es #F contract but i don't believe esignal applies any back-adjustment to handle the delta due to the rollover.

HistoryBank provides a symbol 'SP-CONT' that is a back-adusted continous EOD contract. Does esignal provide an equivalent BACK-ADJUSTED continous EOD contract?

Thanks,
Bing

What I really wanted to know is how to transfer existing e mini symbol from futures to stock category ,so I can use all my data instead to download all again

I do not know of a way to do this other than by first converting the data to ascii then converting it back to xpo and to do this you would need a tool like HistoryCentre from TSSupport.
GlobalServer makes no provision that I can see to change the Category of a symbol not even in the Import/Export process.

It looks like before I set up e mini as stock, I have to delete these symbols from Global Server ,otherwise I get error message:
"Operation failed.Symbol alredy in portfolio." Just don't want to delete all my ES,NQ,YM data

If you are using the same symbol you will get that message because GlobalServer does not allow for duplicate symbols even if in different Categories.
If I were you I would not delete your existing database since you may have an alternate solution.
If at this time your ES, NQ and YM symbols are set up as specific contracts (ie ES U3, NQ U3, etc) then you can set up the same contracts as the continuous #F under the Stock or Index categories (ie ES #F, NQ #F, etc). As a matter of fact given that the rollovers for equity indices is done by eSignal at the same time of the exchanges I believe there is an advantage to using the #F symbol rather than the specific because you don't have to worry about managing your contracts any more.

How to set up e mini as stock in TS2000?
Thanks in advance.

Am here. But, that is the downside, apparently, of wanting to see an
indicator updated to current values rather than waiting for a new bar to see
the final value for the last bar.
