From the SLM command: LS,111,CBOT_GBX,Chicago Board Of Trade (GLOBEX),30,CBOT, You need: 5MS,8,30 30 is the Exchange Group number. Change 8 to the symbol type you want (from SST command). The response will also return other "group 30" symbols,but the response includes the specific exchange number so you can filter them that way.

Then use that number (not the exchange number at the beginning of the line) with the EDS/FDS/5MS commands. Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
