Every spelling, grouped
Measured on broker pages, TradingView broker feeds and live MetaTrader servers. MetaTrader matches symbol names exactly, including case, so FRA40 and FRA40m are two different symbols on the platform even though they are the same market.

What the underlying market is
Every name above tracks the CAC 40, the benchmark index of 40 large companies listed on Euronext Paris, priced in euros.
Cash or futures?
A cash FRA40 CFD tracks the cash CAC 40 while Paris is open and follows the future when the cash market is shut, because the cash index only prints in exchange hours.
How the RB Trading Pro Journal handles it
The RB Trading Pro Journal reads FRA40, F40, CAC40, FRA40.cash, FRENCH40 and the rest as the CAC 40 and prices it live at the cash CAC 40 level.
Trades arrive by hand, by file import, or live from MT4 and MT5 and cTrader, in whatever spelling your broker uses. You never rename a symbol to get a live price or a correct R.
Journal your FRA40 trades under any name
Log trades by hand, import a file, or live-sync MetaTrader and cTrader. The Journal recognises your broker's spelling and prices open trades live.

How this page was built: spellings come from brokers' and prop firms' own help pages and notices, from the broker feeds on TradingView, and from a public dataset of 13,740 symbol names read from 241 live MetaTrader 4 and 5 servers (metatraderVPS/metatrader-broker-symbols, CC BY 4.0). A broker is named only where one of those sources shows it. Brokers rename symbols from time to time, so check your own platform's symbol list if a name here does not match.
