Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows the tickers of emini futures to use with ThinkOrSwim DDE. I got it working today and everything worked fine with stocks, but emini futures(/NQ, /ES, /YM) got wrong quotes and remained unchanged. My guess is the symbols are not correct, or is there any other problems? TIA.
So the futures have a slightly different symbol format when it comes to the DDE RTD etc.
For ES it is /ES:XCME. If you run into any of these issues just go to the TOS watch list in Market Watch tab and export (copy) to Excel. Then after pasting into Excel you can see the actual symbol in the cell formula.
