Close is shown as 363.10. This can't be right.

According to NYMEX, the "most recent settle" is 372.30, and the last trade is 371.50.

Hi FA,

I have turned your post over to our Market Integrity dept. They will check it and make any corrections. Thanks for pointing it out for us.

Hi FA,

The settlement (close) for HGZ8 for yesterday was 3.6310 the settlement for today is 3.7230. The close is still valid for the composite and electronic session since it is still ongoing. The close will change for the electronic and composite at 1625 when the close task runs and at 2330 for the pit symbol.

I hope this helps.

Ah, you're right, sorry about that. Semantics changed between versions of IQFeed. Settle used to be 0 until the settle of the day. With the addition of the settle date field, I can work that out in my code.

Thanks!

Ah! I've found the problem.

+HGN8 reports market is open (1 in field 44). +HGZ8 reports market is closed (0 in field 44).

When the market is open, I use the last, when the market is closed, I use the settle. Hence the reason these two don't match.

Presumably they should both be open or closed right now.

Hmm... Another issue. +HGN8 and +HGZ8 report a settle date of today, despite the settle being for yesterday. If the electronic session closes at 1625, shouldn't the settle date be yesterday?
