Re: FTI futures symbol name
|
A long time ago, the letters were used to designate about 2 years worth of futures contracts. 2 years, 12 months = 24 letters. In time, with rare exceptions a year was added and just 12 months of letter codes were used. ex: ESU1 =? E-Mini S&P for September 2021.
The months now used, in order are; F,G,H,J,K,M,N,Q,U,V,X and Z

Can someone tell me what the logic is of the month in the symbol name of a FTI future (FTA)
I know the prefix of the name is FTI and a number describing the year (1 for 2021).
Between 'FTI' and '1' there is a character which is for the month.
What I have so far is:
???? ??? jan
??? ??? feb
FTIH1??? ??? mrt
FTIJ1??? ??? apr
??? ??? may
FTIM1??? ??? jun
??? ??? jul
??? ??? aug
FTIU1??? ??? sep
FTIV1??? ??? okt
FTIX1??? ??? nov
FTIZ1??? ??? dec
Why is H used for the 3th month. What is used for jan, feb, may,jun, jul, aug...
Kind regards
Harry
