Craig, welcome to our forums - you refer to historical data to backfill the chart, correct?

Yahoo offers historical daily data for equities only, so unfortunately no ES data, but as replacement you can use the presetup SP500 index symbol -

Thanks for your quick response.
Does this give me a data feed? If yes, Which data source do I connect to ?
Once choosing the The Type from Format Data Series window as SP500 what else do I need too select, What is Name? the next drop list.

darkhorse, this will give you daily historical data access, but unfortunately not a realtime intraday datafeed.

You would setup the connection as per the guide, and connect to Yahoo.

Then select the 'index' type and enter SP500 as the name and select to display a daily chart.

So there is no way to get data from the whole SP500 Emini?

Thanks for your Help

Craig.

From Yahoo you can access the individual daily data for the stocks making up the SP500 and it index itself, but unfortunately not the SP / ES futures trading on CME / Globex.
