The T4 system identifies products using a 3-part identifier system:
| ExchangeID | A unique ID representing the exchange. (Note: These are logical groupings, therefore there will be more than one ExchangeID for most exchanges. e.g. CME_C for CME commodities and CME_Eq for CME equities.) |
| ContractID | A unique ID representing the specific product group. e.g. ZC for Corn, ES for E-Mini S&P 500 |
| MarketID | A unique ID representing the contract expiry. e.g. XCME_C ZS (H24) for Mar24 Soybeans at the CME. |
