Wolfgang,

Qcharts DOES display futures data, moreover, some data is real time
(currencies and indexes of the CME)

SP500: SP0Z (dec);
SP500 e-mini: ES0Z

Nasdaq: NQ0Z
Dow: DJ0Z

In essence the contracts displayed in Qcharts follow the same symbols as the
ones in their corresponding bourse (CME, CBOT, ..)

Nevertheless there are minor changes in the symbols of some commodities.

If you need a full list I can email it to you, but I guess you already have
them.

Regards,
