Bitnomial Products

Symbology

Bitnomial trading systems use the Product ID to uniquely identify listed products. For convenience, Product Codes are also assigned but not used by the trading systems.

Product Code

Bitnomial Product Codes are composed of three alphanumeric characters:

  1. Base currency code
  2. Quotation currency code
  3. Contract size code

For example, the standard-Bitcoin-US Dollar futures contract breakdown is as follows:

  1. B for Bitcoin
  2. U for US Dollar
  3. S for Standard

Size Code

Bitnomial uses SI units for contract size codes when convenient.

For example, the 1⁄10 Bitcoin contract, the DeciBitcoin contract, is I not D to avoid confusion with “deca”.

The DeciBitcoin-US Dollar futures contract breakdown is as follows:

  1. B for Bitcoin
  2. U for US Dollar
  3. I for Deci

CQG Name

CQG attempts to maintain a uniquely identifiable symbol name across all exchanges. Bitnomial has been assigned the prefix B, making the BUS contract BBUS on CQG.
