Fredsaid, on IBKR type in MES, but after you hit the first
return, look at the drop down list and choose "futures"; then, the
next drop down list will give you a choice of futures contract
expiration month. (I go out at least a month, as if you wait
until the day of expiration, it expires in the morning, not at the
end of the trading day.) Hope this helps.
