Futures Symbology

Format: F.<symbol><month code><year>

Example: SPU14 = September 2014 S&P 500 futures contract

For currently traded (non-expired) contracts, the lead digit of the year can be omitted, e.g. USAZ9.

Symbol are mapped to commodity symbols before contracts. Therefore, entering SF displays the lead month for Swiss Francs, rather than January soybeans. For soybeans, include the year, SF3.
