Every spelling, grouped
Measured on broker pages, TradingView broker feeds and live MetaTrader servers. MetaTrader matches symbol names exactly, including case, so US2000 and US2000m are two different symbols on the platform even though they are the same market.

What the underlying market is
The Russell 2000 tracks around 2,000 smaller US companies. Its exchange-traded future is CME Group's RTY contract.
Cash or futures?
As with the other US indices, a cash US2000 CFD follows the cash index in US exchange hours and the RTY future when the cash market is shut. A dated name like RTYU26 is a specific futures contract and expires; the plain US2000 does not.
How the RB Trading Pro Journal handles it
The RB Trading Pro Journal reads US2000, RUSSELL, USRUSS2000, US2000.cash and the rest as the Russell 2000. A cash CFD is priced live at the cash index level, and outside US exchange hours that level moves with the RTY future. A futures CFD reads the futures price.
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 US2000 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.
