Displaying Multiple Expired Contracts

To display multiple expired contracts, enter their symbols separated by a comma, i.e.,

symbol,symbol,symbol...

Contracts are displayed in different colors and are aligned correctly in time.

You can use the expansion macro (@) to display multiple contracts with a single keyboard entry. The at sign (@) tells the program to expand forward from the specified contract and display all symbols available (up to 20). For example:

Macro Example
Function
SP@
Displays all trading S&P contracts
SPH6@
Displays all S&P contracts since March 86
SPH6@8
Displays SPH6 and the next 8 contracts.

For more information on using the expansion macro, see Multiple Instrument Charts.

Expired contracts are not available on several of Comstocks overseas exchanges because these symbols do not employ year codes.
