FTI futures symbol name
|
Hi All,
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 |

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 On Wed, Sep 1, 2021 at 10:33 AM <arnoud@...> wrote: Hi All, |
