On Delta Exchange, the contracts are abbreviated in a specific format. If Any> If Any> If a trader can understand and decode contract symbols, they can then interpret other contract symbols without putting in too much time and effort.

1. The first 3/4 letters are the underlying asset that is being traded.
2. The latter 3/4 letters are the quote currency.
3. In the case of a single letter (Q) added post the quote currency, the letter represents the type of currency product.
4. The last details in a contract would be the date, in case the contract expires on a particular date.

• You can’t figure out whether a contract is inverse or vanilla from the symbology. You need to know what is the margining/ settlement currency too, in addition to the contract symbol.
