Crude greyed out on MT4

[mik1973]

Downloaded MT4 but have noticed that a number of symbols have been "greyed out". One of which is crude oil CLZ8- this was working live up until lately but the latest data only goes up to Nov 20th. Anyone else experiencing similar problems or can give advice on how i can obtain live crude. (have no problems with FX.)

Cheers,

Mick

CLZ* has finished----Go to Market watch tab--right click and "show all" CLF9 should appear.

Hi Tommac,

Thanks for your response- managed to locate CLF9. As a complete commodities novice can you let me know why this code has changed and how often it changes.

Thanks in advance

It ran out 20 November--You are now trading January contract. Yo`ll have to read up on futures contracts.
