Futures always begin with the "/" character and have the form:
/(root.md)(month code.md)(year code.md)
root:
The root symbol is assigned by the exchange. For example, Gold is represented by "GC".
month code:
F = January G = February H = March J = April K = May M = June N = July Q = August U = September V = October X = November Z = December
year code:
The year code is a one digit number representing the year. For example, year 2010 is represented by "0" and year 2011 is represented by "1". To illustrate: /GCH0 for Gold March 2010 and /NGZ1 for Natural Gas December 2011
Front Month codes (spot price symbols.md):
For popular US Futures symbols, a spot price (constant.md) symbol may exist. Remove the month code and year. For example, /GC for Gold futures and /NG for Natural Gas.
