The futures contract code is usually a one-letter or three-letter code to identify the product, followed by additional characters to indicate the expiration date. The format of the contract code varies according to each category and trading platform.

Take the E- mini Standard & Poor's 500 futures contract due in June 20 19 as the display code.

The first determinant is the trading platform; In this example, suppose it is CME Globex.

For CME Globex, the E- mini S&P contract code is "ES".

After' ES', we add the expiration month, that is, 65438+ 10 month is the letter' f'.

Finally, add 9 to represent 20 19. Therefore, the display code of the E- mini Standard & Poor's 500 futures contract due on June 20 19 is ESF9.

In this way, I believe you should understand what it means by comparing your own account opening platform.
