Mytrack Symbols

[iainpw]

Hi All,
Probably a nice easy question for you all.
Could anyone please tell me the index codes as used on Mytrack for the following :-

EURO/USD
GBP/USD
USD/CHF - CU.SF ?
USD/JPY - CU.JY ?

I've never looked at Forex before so i thought i'd see what i'm missing.

Regards,
Iain

Thanks clin,
I got the last 2 correct but i was trying to add the first 2 as EU.CU & BP.CU instead of CU.EU & CU.BP.

It's late - that's my excuse!!

Thanks JonnyT for adding the future symbols aswell.
I'll have a look at your breakout method to see if i can get started off on that.

Beware the Spot data is not accurate on Mytrack.

Anyone know the MyTrack symbol for the Emini EUR/USD future (IB symbol E7, $6.25 a tick) as well? TIA.

 

[JonnyT]

It's thin and shouldn't be traded IMHO

Cheers JT, had a feeling it wouldn't be sufficiently liquid.

I just asked my broker about this. Her reply:

MINI currency futures hardly ever trade, but the normal size ones are pretty busy. As an example the mini Euro traded 87 lots overnight, whereas the normal size one traded 10,000 lots.

That is a tad thin.
