- Delivery Months: FHKNQUX (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Aug, Sep, Nov)
- Delimiter: comma, i.e. .csv .txt - ASCII. Or choose another delimiter such as semi-colon, space or tab
- Filename: Discrete names created from the symbol root, the year and delivery month code, one contract per file. For example XB2026F is the January 2026 contract for Mini-Sized Soybeans - Globex. Where a contract is large it is split into a series of discrete, sequential files with a numbered suffix, XB2026F_001.txt, XB2026F_002.txt... etc based on the size of your data. Openable in notepad or similar. Windows/Mac/Linux compatible.

- Timezone: Exchange Time, US Central Time (Chicago, UTC-6 / -5 DST). Or choose a custom timezone such as UTC
