- Commodities symbols are created in three parts: the root symbol, the month code and the year code.
- The month code - each month is represented with a single letter as displayed below:
|
F - January |
J - April |
N - July |
V - October |
|
G - February |
K - May |
Q - August |
X - November |
|
H - March |
M - June |
U - September |
Z - December |
- The year code - is displayed as one digit. Hence 2014 would be displayed as 4, and 2015 as 5
For example: US (T-Bond) June 2017 would be displayed as USM7. US is the commodity code M is the month of June 17 is for the year 2017
December corn futures (now traded only electronically) would be ZCZ7 or ZCZ17 on mobile devices
December cotton futures would be KGZ17. On mobile devices, you can also use KC*1 to show whatever is front month.
Cash contracts, when available, can be obtained by prefixing Y0 (zero) to the commodity code in place of the month and year code.
