Emini Crude Oil (QM)

[DemonHeadmaster]

Hi,

Does anyone know the symbol for crude oil for sierra charts? My data feed provider is IB.

TIA

I would guess QM-200403-ECBOT

I think its QM-200403-NYMEX

I'm not subscribed to Nymex but I put in ECBOT in IB and it's showing 32.500/32.850 C32.475. But when I look at Details and Description it shows it as Nymex. I'm confused

Oatman, i think the C32.475 quote refers to close during pithours. QM is very illiquid, especially outside NyMEX trading hours. On can be guaranteed that one's stop orders will be picked by market makers. I would recommend to go for direct access unless the trade is a long term punt with wide stops.

Yea, I saw it didn't do a lot, so I took it off IB. It's still updating in Sierra though!
