Symbols & markets

67 markets — the most-traded futures across CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, EUREX plus live index & ETF quotes (SPX, QQQ, SPY…). Any other symbol on request.

You reference an instrument by its short symbol (futures use the front-month continuous contract by default — it rolls automatically). We carry the most-traded futures across CME · CBOT · NYMEX · COMEX · EUREX — equity indices, rates, energy, metals and FX — plus live index & ETF quotes (SPX, NDX, VIX, SPY, QQQ, IWM …).

Futures stream real trade ticks (and Level 2 depth). ETFs stream live quotes; indices like SPX/VIX stream the live index level (an index isn't traded, so there are no trade prints — just the level). Subscribe to all of them on the same ticks channel.

Specifying contracts

By default a symbol resolves to the front-month continuous contract and rolls automatically. To pin a specific expiry, append the contract code, e.g. ESZ5 (Dec 2025).
