Multi-Instrument with futures

[soyjesus]

I have a strategy inserted in the future of the Mini S&P and I want to make reference to the future of Mini Dow Jones. How can I know the exact name for this future and its actual expiry? (For example: YMZ12).

Thanks in advance.

Hello soyjesus,

For a future contract it will be the name of the symbol as defined inside the Instrument Manager, followed by a space and the contract month. For all other instruments it would just be the name. Example: "YM 12-12", "ES 12-12", "AAPL", etc...

You may also programmatically access the Full Name as well by using the Instrument.FullName to get the Full Name of the Instrument.
