Changes
To improve the ICE Futures feeds, we implemented the following symbology changes for all the ICE Futures products:
- Products are now changed to have two-digit maturity year. It will allow to avoid confusions between products expiring in 2010s and products expiring in 2020s.
- Namespaces are now added for all symbols so as to avoid intersection of product codes from different exchanges.
Example:
| Product name | Current symbol | New symbol |
| FTSE 100 Index Futures | /ZM8 | /ZM18:IFLL |
| Brent Crude Futures | /BRNM8 | /BRNM18:IFEU |
| Brent Crude Futures (continuous product) | /BRN | /BRN:IFEU |
| US Dollar Index Futures | /DXM8 | /DXM18:IFUS |
| US Dollar Index Futures (continuous product) | /DX | /DX:IFUS |
The list of namespace values match existing MIC values:
- for ICE Futures U.S.: IFUS
- for ICE Futures E.U.: IFEU, IFLL, IFLO, IFLX
Effective Date
These changes will take effect as of September 2, 2018. The changes are incompatible. We allow parallel migration period to allow time to make necessary changes: starting May 18, 2018 both symbologies are available.
Legacy symbols will be disabled on September 2, 2018. Please make sure to subscribe to new symbols by this date.
