Didn't think I was paying for cotton futures but I checked my data subscriptions, ICE / NYBOT is $1.00 monthly for non-professionals.

Here is a link to the Fact sheet for Russell 2000 Mini Index Futures.
https://www. theice.com/ publicdocs/ futures_us/ ICE_Russell_ 2000_Mini_ Fact_Sheets. pdf
So the symbol is TF.

Now as to how to get it on TWS, I am still working on it. After upgrading IB and NT I was still unable to get data into NT. All though I did notice an error message in the NT log saying I was not subscribed to that data feed.. So may maybe ICE feed is not part of the "free"" data feed. IB says subscription to NYBOT is $1.00 per month if I read it correctly.

There is a discussion about problems in TWS API here:
http://www.interact ivebrokers. com/cgi-bin/ discus/board- auth.pl?file= /2/83250. html

According to the ICE website, volume for the Dec08 contract was 165278.

Thanks for checking.

It seems the TFZ8 would be a futures on TF, which makes no sense at 
all. TF2Z8 would make more sense but that doesn't work either. ER by 
itself is also a stock and ER2 a futures contract. I guess we will 
find out soon enough and that would be expiration date for the ER2 I 
guess. I would like to know now so I can start getting data but maybe 
it doesn't exist and there won't be any data until it starts.
