The example security I'll use here is CL (WTI Futures), but I'd like to know how to do this in general.
Today, the only way I "know" (based on pre-installed examples) how to map CL to Interactive brokers is:
CL|NYMEX|||1
No doubt that's the front month CL contract. What I'd like to know is how can I be more specific: Like, I want to trade CLU6 (September '16 CL). Or, i'd like to trade 6JM6. Right now, that default map is "JPY".
Is there a FAQ or quick-reference guide to resolving all of these symbol maps?
