I cannot figure out the symbol for NYMEX continuous contract for Crude Oil (CL) and Natural Gas (NG).

With symbol CL# I get Colgate Palmolive stock, and with NG# I get Novagold Resources stock. I have experimented with various alternative symbols...but without success.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your response. With SC Historical chosen as the data source, I was indeed able to obtain CL# as NYMEX crude. But, when I switched to TD Ameritrade as data source. The Crude Oil title on the chart disappeared and the message came up "Symbol not found" but the data remained unaltered.

But, when I switched data source to Interactive Broker, the Crude Oil on the chart label was replaced by "Colgate Palmolive" and the last days data was updated to $58.37, which is Colgate Palmolive's closing price.

How can one maintain continuous future charts (e.g., CL# or NG#)if one is not continuously connected to SC Historical as the data source?

Thank you again.
