How To Get A Future Symbol For A Chart

You can use the chart of the underlying futures contract in order to view a chart on the corresponding derivative Nadex Product

(To find the code for a futures contract combine: (1) Symbol of the Underlying Product + (2) Symbol For the Month + (3) Symbol For The Year)

For Example:


       A Gold contract whose expiration month on Nadex is January and whose expiration year is 2020

  • Would have GC is the symbol for Gold
  • Would have F is the symbol for January
  • Would have 0 as the symbol for 2020

= Therefore the symbol would be GCF0 on a charting platform.

RISK DISCLOSURE:

Futures and Forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE:

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses is material points, which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
