Interactive Brokers Symbols
IB requires that the exchange, currency, underlying and expiration date for futures be specified precisely. For other symbols not listed here, use the Symbol Lookup feature within Trader Workstation.
In the table below, the letters M and Y following the base symbol represent the Month Code and Year (1 digit). For example, ES for March 2022 would be ESH2. Months January...December have month codes FGHJKMNQUVXZ respectively.
If you have setup your symbol and are still having issues getting live data flow, please visit the Interactive Broker Symbol Configuration page.
