Just quickly.
Back in the day when I had a quick look, you could create a new ‘watchlist’, add the desired Futures contracts, restart PRT and the new watchlist would present w/in PRT, heatmaps etc. Then you could add chart from that group/ location (heatmap for example).
Looking just now, if you know the name of the contract, create a chart and select the named FUT contract ( from the where you select the desired instrument / contract (it’s in drop down tab/box, 3rd icon from the top LHS corner of the chart) ) . As you start typing the instrument / contact should appear in the dialogue box, usually near the bottom of the list.
Hope this makes sense. If not poke about a bit but it should be there, can’t see there being that great a diff. between APAC and EU given MiFiD and other co-operatives in place (transparency in reporting etc.) unrelated but it show there’s deep ties.
Anyhow good luck again.

I’m not sure how you’re doing your analysis, reading ticker (not being funny here, is how I learnt to clock prices on a pager early 90’s) or charting and doing your analysis there. If on a chart I thought from memory (again) we could set session times to reflect 800-2200 on CFD (continuous synthetic) but there’s no ‘continuous’ contract equivalent for FUT on IG. When EU went with an early APAC start 1:10am etc that all changed. Talking DAX CFD here. I guess your already across this.
Providers in the past would ‘construct’ a continous HMUZ ‘instrument’ and you could select to roll on volume (when the fwd contract surpasses vol. of the current) or custom date aka roll custom build a few days before or any day for that matter. With PRT none of this exists with IG, with IB I think there might be a ‘continuous’ rolled contract you could work with – others would know this first hand for IB/PRT and what’s doable.
Otherwise you’re stuck with the spot month for IG (I think)……..
It’s why you’re seeing what you’re seeing.
I’m not sure whether you’re after DOM / L2 data and it sounds like you might be, if so IG won’t help you there, again IB would be a broker to look at w/PRT, others could comment further there.
Sounds like you have some choices to make and what you’d like to trade.
IG do have API but I’ve not looked at it, it could be a thing for you but I suggest your research long and hard if you’re serious about that kind of process. Personally I’d look elsewhere for API.
Good luck with it, never easy when looking at new platforms and ‘living’ with features you’d expect to be the norm but simply aren’t there and could be a deal breakers too.
