Crude Oil August Futures symbol for downloading historical data

daniamarkumar

Hi,

I am trying to download Crude Oil August Futures data for back-testing a strategy.

But, when I check in the instrument list file, I get the symbol as OIL18AUGFUT which does give me historical data but the price is around 200 whereas the price of CRUDEOIL18AUGFUT is around 4600.

Could someone let me know the same?

Thanks,
Amar
