9. FUTURES QUOTES & CHARTS
Our readers trade a variety of things including index futures, index options, SPYders and QQQ's. Some even use our
work in their stock trading. We usually use the SP500 and Nasdaq futures when we give our support and resistance
levels...we do this because the futures tend to lead the markets by a few seconds, and they tend to give the cleanest
support and resistance. You can get real time streaming futures charts at:

As I type this, these are the current symbols:
es1z = e-mini SP December 2001 futures
nq1z = e-mini Nasdaq December 2001 futures
However, four times per year the futures contracts expire and those symbols change. Here is how to figure out the
current symbol at any time...
The "es" and "nq" are the root symbols. They remain constant and do not change. The "1" is for "2001". The "u" is the
month code. There are four month codes:
h = March
m = June
u = September
z = December
So right now we are trading the December 2001 contract. The Thursday before the third Friday in December, which is
December 13th, the market will switch over to the March 2002 contract, and the symbols will be "es2h" and "nq2h".
ES2H = SP emini March 2002 futures
NQ2H = Nasdaq emini March 2002 futures
SP2H = SP big contract March 2002 futures
ND2H = Nasdaq big contract March 2002 futures
