Does anyone know the difference between @NQ# and @NQ#C (continuous) in IQFEED? Both seem to chart exactly the same, even through rollover.

Read the annotation


Quoting 
The symbology for a future contract is
[FUTURE ROOT][MONTH CODE][2 DIGIT YEAR]
For example: @ESZ13 = Emini S&P 500 December 2013 Future Contract
The symbology for a future option contract is
[FUTURE SYMBOL][P/C][STRIKE]
For example: @ESZ13C154000 = Emini S&P 500 December Call at 1540.00 strike

MONTH CODES
Jan-F Feb-G Mar-H Apr-J May-K Jun-M
Jul-N Aug-Q Sep-U Oct-V Nov-X Dec-Z
· For combined session symbols, the first character is "+".
· For Night/Electronic sessions, the first character is "@" (example @ES) or "Q" (example QCL).
· Replace the Month and Year code with "#" for Front Month (ie. @ES# instead of @ESZ13).
· Replace the Month and Year code with "#C" for Front Month back-adjusted history (ie. @ES#C instead of @ESZ13).

The first is front month, while the second is front month back adjusted history...
