I trade emini's and would like to backtest the previous quaters data. Esignals symbol is "nq m2005" I have tried to load this in ms but it does not work. Can anyone help? Thanks

I don't use esignal as my data provider, but you might try 'US@NQ'. That is what it is for Reuters/QuoteCenter data. If that doesn't work for you, try 'US@NQc1'. Hope this helps.

Second thought- that seems useless for you. Sorry. :( I found this that might really help:

I just got Metastock Professional to run with eSignal. Do I need to do anything special to get it to work? You need to contact eSignal Customer Service and we will add a special Equis bit to your service. That will enable you to effectively run Metastock and eSignal together. If you do not get this Equis bit activated, you will get an error message when you try to connect Metastock to eSignal. There is no charge to add this service bit.

Hi Mike- Whenever I first load a future symbol from the data provider, I am greeted with a dialog box that asks what range I would like to load. After that, my info can be save in the dataondemand cache folder. Are you trying to load a new copy or are you loading from one that is saved in the cache? Here is a copy of what it looks like on my system. I am using MS Pro 9.1. UserPostedImage
