CL symbol

Hello,

I need your help to choose the future CL symbol. I checked IB and other platforms, they only have one option for May 2012 CL symbol, but in MC, when I try to add the symbol from quote manager and IB data, it gave me 6 symbols, CLK2, CLK3, CLK4,CLK5,CLK6, CLK7, I am so confused, could you anyone can help to clarify which one I need to choose?

Thanks a lot.

Choose them all... so that MultiCharts can start collecting price quotes for your database.

symbol: CL
month: K = May
year: 2 = 2012

You should read the exchange's contract specification before trading.
Pay particular attention to expiration dates and delivery dates.

Thank you so much TJ.
