For example, CQG has defined exchange identifier “CME” for CME Group, which includes MICs XCME, XCBT, XNYM, XCEC, etc. For exchange symbol ZN (the 10-year Treasury Note), both XCBT(ZN) and CME(ZN) will resolve to the 10-year Treasury Note traded on Globex. The resolved symbol will always be shown using the exchange identifier CME, e.g., CME(ZNM6).
CQG IC version 2026 can resolve symbols when combined with a Market Identifier Code (MIC) prefix and the Exchange Symbol. For example, using CME (for CME Group) and ZN (the Exchange symbol for the 10-year Treasury Note) i.e., CME(ZN) will resolve to the 10-year Treasury Note traded on the CME.
