One-off data dump:
- Delivery Months: HMUZ (Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec)
- Delimiter: comma, i.e. .csv .txt - ASCII. Or choose another delimiter such as semi-colon, space or tab
- Filename: Discrete names created from the symbol root, the year and delivery month code, one contract per file. For example YM2026H is the March 2026 contract for DJIA Mini $5 Index. Where a contract is large it is split into a series of discrete, sequential files with a numbered suffix, YM2026H_001.txt, YM2026H_002.txt... etc based on the size of your data. Openable in notepad or similar. Windows/Mac/Linux compatible.
- Filename Alternatives: Choose from the following if you require compatibility elsewhere: Bloomberg: DM Index · IQFeed: @YM · Sierra Chart: YM-CBOT
- Column Order: timestamp, price, volume, dataType, correction, marketState
- Flags: the three flag columns on every row
- dataType: B = best bid update, A = best ask update, T = trade. Every row is one of these three events.
- correction: R = regular. D = deleted, I = inserted and U = updated are exchange corrections to earlier events. We include them by default and can exclude any of the three.
- marketState: N = normal. F = fast market, an old flag only seen in pit-era data up to November 2006. Every row since is N.
- Timezone: Exchange Time, US Central Time (Chicago, UTC-6 / -5 DST). Or choose a custom timezone such as UTC
- Timestamp format: yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss.fffiTimestamp keyyyyy = yearmm = monthdd = dayhh = hour (24h)mm = minutess = secondfff = milliseconds (precision 1/1000 of a second)
- Pre-2014 timestamps: Prior to mid-2013, there was no such thing as milliseconds or seconds in the timestamp. Obviously, all the trades are in the correct order. The timestamp in the file will be identical but will exhibit zeros for seconds and milliseconds prior to mid-2013.
- No Aggregation: All pure tick data is per-event with no aggregation.
- Alternative Formats: Other common formats can be extracted such as the case for NinjaTrader, yyyyMMdd HHmmss fffffff;price;bestBid;bestAsk;volume (one line per trade carrying the prevailing best bid and ask). In this case trade, bid and ask volumes are aggregated per row and semicolon separated. Speak to us on a per case basis.
- Other Special Data Formatting Requirements: We format directly for other software applications including Bloomberg, CQG Data Factory, eSignal, IQFeed, MetaTrader 5, MultiCharts, NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, TradeStation and Trading Blox.
During your order process, we will send across these final formatting options for you to choose from and then add you to our jobs list for processing.

Portara discusses the DJIA Mini $5 Index YM (YM)
Portara discusses the DJIA Mini $5 Index YM (YM)The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is an index that tracks the price movements of 30 large American companies. These companies represent nearly half of all stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

How does it work?
The Dow Jones Industrial average is based on the prices of 30 large companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Each company is given a weighting factor based on its market capitalization. This means that each company is assigned a percentage value based on how much money it is worth. Companies with more shares outstanding will receive a higher weighting than those with fewer shares.
What does it measure?
The Dow Industrial average was first published in 1896 by Charles Dow and Edward Jones as a simple average of the prices of thirty leading industrial corporations. In 1928, the Dow Jones & Co. changed its name to Dow Jones & Company Inc., and in 1988, the company became part of News Corporation.
Why is it important?
The Dow Jones index has been used as an indicator of the state of the American economy since 1896. It is calculated using the price changes of 30 large publicly traded U.S. companies. These companies make up the Industrial Dow Jones Average. The DJIA is considered a good measure of the general direction of the U.S. economy because it reflects the performance of the largest companies in the United States.
When should I use it?
The DJI index is used by investors as an indicator of the general direction of the stock market. Investors use the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) to determine whether to buy or sell stocks. If the Dow Jones rises above 14,000, then the investor knows that the stock market is going up. Conversely, when the Dow Jones falls below 7,500, the investor knows that the market is heading down.
