Hi! I'm just getting started with Rithmic and noticed a discrepancy in CL (Light sweet crude oil futures) symbols. In Sierra under chart settings, symbol, futures CLZ8 is December 2018 while the Rithmic website says CLZ8 is November 2018. Sierra has CLF9 as January 2019 and Rithmic has it as December 2018. Haven't looked at all the other symbols but found these this morning. Would appreciate your help with this. Thanks much.

This is just a nomenclature difference. Sierra Chart matches to the Contract Month that is stated by the CME. Rithmic is using some other mechanism, but the symbols are referencing the same data.

To give you a better idea of what Sierra Chart is referencing, look at the CME calendar for CL here: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude_product_calendar_futures.html

You will see that the CME references the January 2019 Contract Month as CLF19, the same as Sierra Chart.

Clearly Rithmic has made an obvious mistake. There is no other explanation than they have made a mistake.
