Symbol Help: Futures
Collective2 is able to track most CBOT, CME, NYMEX, EUREX, LIFFE, SIMEX, and NYBOT/ICE futures that you might want to trade in your system. Contracts that are currently in the database are listed below. If you don't see below a contract that you want to trade,  let us know and we'll add it for you.
Important note about pit contracts versus electronic contracts: The world is moving toward electronic contracts. While C2 supports pit traded contracts, we encourage system developers to use electronics wherever possible. There are two important reasons for this. First, it will help you attract subscribers. This is because many futures brokers do not support pit contracts, but all support electronics. For customers of these brokers, AutoTrading simply won't work for any pit contract you specify. The second reason electronics are better: We receive more accurate price feeds and faster fill reporting. You'll run into far fewer "bad ticks," and customer service issues. So, when in doubt, use electronics!

What if I have a pit position but I want to close my position when pit trading is closed but electronic trading is available? Many pit-traded futures have alternate 'electronic contracts' available for trading during evening/off hours. These electronic contracts are labeled below with the symbol. If you open a position with a standard ('pit') contract and want to close the position using the electronic contract, you'll need to convert your position into the electronic contract first. (Or vice versa, if you open a position at night and want to close it during the day.) How to do this: When you go to your trading system's "Details" page, positions which are available in both electronic and pit contracts will display a symbol. Just click the next to your position to convert between day and night symbols. Keep in mind this probably isn't a great thing to do if you have subscribers, because not all brokers support pit contracts. So if you switch to a pit contract and your subscriber's broker doesn't allow that, he will not longer receive your signals for that position.

Collective2 Futures Symbology

Symbol = ROOT + DELIVERYMONTH + LAST DIGIT OF YEAR

example: @ESH0 = E-Mini S&P (March 2010)

Note that for year 2010 contracts, you use a single "0" (zero) as the year... not "10"

So, for example, the December 2010 Emini Russell is @TFSZ0

So, for example, the March 2011 Coffee is @KCH1
