Anyone using Tradingview for futures charts?

    I've been using the free version for a while to pick off my levels from and then execute from a different platform, this was OK since mostly swing trading. I need to be able to see continuous non back adjusted futures charts since I trade levels. The free version with the delayed feed has the perfect charts using tickers like ES1!, CL1!, etc. I want to upgrade to live charts so I got a demo with CQG to see what the live Tradingview chart will look like and unfortunately it doesn't look like the continuous charts are available anymore with the CQG feed, only the current and future months.

    Anyone able to get the continuous ES1! or other futures charts in live mode? I don't plan to execute on Tradingview, just really enjoy the charting tools.

    When not at home like Investing.com for stocks, don't think their futures are reliable.

    Look for ticker SPX500USD in Tradingview, that's the Oanda S&P feed. The volume is different but the price is very close to /ES and there is no delay. There's one for /YM too but I don't know it off the top of my head.

    Who's your futures broker? AMP offers free TV and CQG for their customers.

    Otherwise go with Investing.com, which is essentially powered by TV.

    My issue is that the demo im doing on the tradingview / cqg combo doesnt give me ability to construct a continuous contract which is odd because the free version with delayed data has it.

    The options with the demo for live data CQG log in:

    Options with no login at all:

    Then what are you complaining about? Look, I can access nearly 5 months of 15-minute data of ES. (In fact I can access more than this if I wanted.)

    Those are CFD charts they are just not 100% accurate to the futures chart. All good and fine if swing trading etc with minimal leverage but I need a more serious feed for what I plan to do. I used sierra chart in the past but i just much prefer the charting with tradingview. I'll still execute on a dom elsewhere.

    Yeah, it's pretty shit. the CFD's charts with no volume and incorrect data are utter shit as well.
    The only way around this is to subscribe to tradingview's own datafeeds, then you can see realtime continuous ES1! GC1! etc.

    But then you end up paying twice for data, and you can't execute trades through these charts, so you need to have the CQG chart/symbol open as well. pretty rubbish overall.
