Hi Gary / Quote Plus 1) I'm glad that EQ1600 is really the e-mini Nasdaq 100 Stock Index and that NM1600 is the NASDAQ 100 Stock Index, as I could only figure this out by comparing with other financial website quotes. The descriptions assigned to those symbols are not what they are, being EQ1600 EMINI NASDAQ Stock Index and NM1600 NASDAQ Stock Index Combined Session. Instead they should be EMINI NASDAQ 100 Stock Index and NASDAQ 100 Stock Index
Can Quotes Plus please revise the descriptions for the indexes, ETFs and futures contracts as some of them are not very clear and certainly not precise. 2) I am not sure what you mean by "exchange qualifier" and whether it is necessary for my request. The Quotes Plus specifications states a month code of 16 and a 2-digit identifier is used to build continuous contracts. The 2-digit identifier being 00 - Volume Crossover, 01 - Fixed Date or 02 - Volume Threshold. Thus I am surprised that a chart header display, SPP field or an QP excel function cannot display the corresponding month / year of the continuous contract. For e.g. the S&P500 futures contract price quotes of S51600 and S51601 presently corresponds with S50607, as at May 31, 2007. Can Quote Plus please create a QP excel function and a SPP field for the corresponding month / year (contract) of the continuous contract? i.e. for the above example it would be S50607 or June 2007 S&P500 futures contract which is presently consistent with the continuous contracts S51600 / S51601.
