Replace the blue M with month code and the red Y with the year (8 for 2008)
Examples...   NQH9 (Mar 2009 E-mini Nasdaq 100)   ESU8 (Sept 2008 E-mini S&P 500)
eSignal Users: For continuous contracts, use ES #F instead of ESM8. For RTH symbols, append "=2" to the symbol: ES #F=2 or ES MY=2.
DTN IQFeed Users: For continuous contracts, use @ES# instead of @ESM8. SP# is the pit session, @SP# is the electronic session, +SP# is the combined session.
