Jerry Medved Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 # is for currencies/Forex. For futures, the prefix is @ you cannot use continuous contract symbols with IB. Have to specify the expiration. For example: @GCM19 for the June expiration MT uses standard expiration format. Usual futures expiration month codes and 2 digit year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
