Commodity Futures
The following exchange-traded commodity futures are supported with a LOCALID that can be logically constructed using the information below, and they can be added to a portfolio using the Add Positions window in Portfolio Admin.
The LOCALID consists of:
- Issue code (one, two, three letters as enumerated below)
- Year code (the last two digits of the four-digit delivery year)
- Month code (one letter as provided below)
As an example, a Brent Crude future deliverable in December 2011 would have a LOCALID of B+11+Z=B11Z.
