Hi,
on Qchat, to which realtime exchange shouls I subscribe to be able to chart the s&p500 futures and nasdaq 100 futures ?

And what are the symbols of these on Qchart ?

Thanks in advance
Benj
 
How in the hell do you look up symbols for Qcharts period! I've tried to find the answer on their webpage, and I get this "smart lookup" thing. It's like an Ask Jeeves search engine that's supposed to be user friendly but doesn't work at all. Is there some list of futures symbols? Or some search utility that actually works?
 
OK, thanks for your answer.
As of now, for nq02z, I see a close at 1049.50 for today 18 november.

This is for the nasdaq 100 Emini futures.

For the non Emini value of the nasdaq 100 futures, should I expect the exact same value ? I'm a bit confused about getting this information from CME Emini or not and as to what is the difference.

Thanks,
Benj
 
Koros ---- The big NASDAQ contract is traded in the CME pits by open outcry and its current symbol is ND02Z or ND Z2 (depending on your quote provider). The ND trades at $100/point, 5x the size of the electronically traded (Globex) NQ contract. ND and NQ are usually very similar ---- they are based on the same index and major discrepancies would invite arbitrageurs to close the spread between the two ----- but not necessarily identical at all because ND generally lags NQ by anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds, and its price changes are more slothful and stodgy than the equivalent big SP contract is to the electronic e-mini ES. You will generally have to pay additional money to obtain quotes for ND in addition to the e-minis: for instance, esignal charges $63/month to provide any and all CME futures, but just $10/month for the two CME e-mini contracts.
 
hey koros,

its probably better if u track the emini nq and s&p over the big contracts cuz the charts are much more fluid due to the higher volume
