https://new.portaracqg.com/futures/tto/ssa/
Portara / CQG historical tick trades-only data for Soybeans (Combined) (SSA). Plain-text version of the Data Formats card on the product page above.

Combined: This means a combination of the new 'All Sessions' data combined to the old pit data in the past. This allows for the longest historical data streams possible.

Choose a data form to see the format choices available for it.
Once payment is in, we will send across final formatting options for you to choose from and then add you to our jobs list for processing. See below for what questions we will ask.

== Format Choices: Continuous Contract Data ==
One-off data dump:
Continuous data: Do you want backadjusted or zero adjusted data? Please let us know. If you are unsure, please read our deep dive on how to create continuous futures data (https://new.portaracqg.com/continuous-futures-data/), which explains the different methods.
Roll: 14 days before expiry is a good sweetspot for SSA
Roll Basis: Roll based on settlement price. (Highly unusual based on last price, but we can do it)
Delivery Months: FHKNQX (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Aug, Nov)
Delimiter: comma, i.e. .csv .txt - ASCII. Or choose another delimiter such as semi-colon, space or tab
Filename: A series of discrete, sequential files called SSA.txt or SSA_001.txt, SSA_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: Exchange: ZS · Bloomberg: S Comdty · CSI: S2 · IQFeed: @S · NinjaTrader: ZS · Sierra Chart: ZS-CBOT · TradeStation: S
Column Order: timestamp, price, volume
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.fff (yyyy = year; mm = month; dd = day; hh = hour (24h); mm = minute; ss = second; fff = 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.
Roll Logs: we will include a full roll log showing rolls close-to-close the calendar days and the adjustments so you can follow through the logic.
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.

== Format Choices: Individual Contract Data ==
One-off data dump:
Delivery Months: FHKNQX (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Aug, Nov)
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 SSA2026F is the January 2026 contract for Soybeans (Combined). Where a contract is large it is split into a series of discrete, sequential files with a numbered suffix, SSA2026F_001.txt, SSA2026F_002.txt... etc based on the size of your data. Openable in notepad or similar. Windows/Mac/Linux compatible.
