Ed,

Just to clarify, by putting the + in front of a symbol indicates you want a combined session symbol. This will include trades from both the pit and electronic contracts. Since most volume has moved to electronic, most traders are good with using the "Q" contract instead. For Nymex and Comex, the "Q" in front of the symbol indicates the electronic session. On non Nymex/Comex we use an "@" to indicate electronic symbols.

The issue you are seeing is due to tick corrections coming through on the pit session and we aren't applying them to the "combined session" "+" data correctly. Essentially it is corrupting the data on the server for the "+" symbol. We have a fix in place and that fix is being tested by our QA group now. Hopefully it will be rolled out live on our servers shortly. This will resolve it once and for all.

Thank you for your reports and for working with our support group to help identify the issue so it could be resolved.

IQFeed rolls this symbol over to the next contract I believe on the last trading day of the contract or the day before. I always start trading the new contract the day before the last trading day (for CL and NG). So that is not it.

I have to contact IQFeed every time for them to I believe contact the data supplier to correct this. I am not sure why this is but it is pretty annoying. Does eSignal have the same issue with yesterdays data?

Now I get a prompt to install the newer version every time I load an IQFEED database but, after trying to duplicate my problem 4 or 5 times, I have been unable to do so. The data seem to be ok now.

That is, for example, my database will have data for 10/29 preceded by data from 10/28 and then more data for 10/29. You can only see this when you look at the quote editor. It don't think it shows up in the charts but it does affect formula computations referring to previous bars.
