i saw that, but i still can't get it to work.

i'm trying this: HSI #F-HKF

i type that in and it says "no data"

i just signed up today, so i don't know if i'm doing something wrong, or if my account isn't set up yet for these quotes.

I don't look at the Hang Seng, however it looks as if the symbol that you're using is ok. It may just take a while to get permissioned.

Hi,

#F designates a continuous contract and these are not available for International Futures quite yet. You'll need to designate the month and year of expiration and that will work.

For ex: HSI F4-HKF

Thanks.
