FX Symbols

[juanbyte]

Can anyone tell me if I can get FX futures prices on TS8

I can get the GBPUSD cash, but do not know the symbol for the futures.

If you have the CME E-Mini package then you can get Euro & Yen mini futures (Symbols E7 & J7 I think), they're OK to get a taste, but really the data is too thin. For the full contracts you need the CME Exchange package, which includes all the full contracts.

Symbols are:
BP - British Pound
EC - Euro
JY - Japanese Yen
AD - Aussie Dollar
etc.

@BP would give you the continuous contract, else standard format applies i.e. BPM05 for June.

I've recently started trading them myself & definitely find them preferable to spot.

Good luck
Simon
