RE: [amibroker] Re: Australian Futures Symbols: IB + AmiBroker ...

["Neil Wrightson" <neilw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

In the first part of the code, the AP represents the Australian futures the H represents the contract month and the 0 represents the year APH0.

So every three months the third letter will change as the contract changes.

 

If you are interested in the SPI, you also be interested in the FTSE.

The SPI is $25 per point and the FTSE is $20 per point but it also trades in half points, so each pip is $12.50.

 

With our current NSW time (Daylight saving). The FTSE opens at 7PM our time.

 

The current AB contract code is ZH0-LIFFE-FUT-GBP

Regards,

Neil Wrightson.

Aha!! Great ... APH0-SNFE-FUT-AUD works!!!
Thankyou!!

How did you find out? Or are you experienced with the ASX futures?
Out of all the quotes I tried the key thing I was missing was the little "-AUD" on the end ... how silly.

There's no consistency in the quote formats at all.

Is there a proper guide on all quote formats? Besides the ones I've mentioned already ... which are half finished.

Thank you all.
