Mutuals:
The mutual funds file contains all the symbols for U.S. funds as well as the net asset value (NAV) for the funds. Money market funds, which are also included (denoted by symbols ending with 'XX'), contain the 30 day yield.

Futures:
The futures updates contain the symbol, contract year and month, open, high, low, close, volume and open interest for all the worldwide markets that Prophet covers. You get information for every contract which traded on that day, as well as the prior day's information, since exchanges typically report their official volume and open interest the next day. Contract months are represented as YYMM, so for example, 0012 would be the December 2000 contract. The only exceptions to this rule are 9413, which designates a cash market and 1600, which designates a continuous contract.

Stock Options:
Stock options updates, which also contain the index options, contain the symbol, open, high, low, close, volume, and open interest for every option traded on that given day. Please note that options not traded are likewise not reported since there was no activity on them.

Futures Options:
Futures options updates contain the symbol, open, high, low, close, volume, and open interest for every option traded on that given day. Please note that options not traded are likewise not reported since there was no activity on them. The format of the symbol, which is the first field, is:

/+symbol+year+month+type+strike

The year is a single digit, so 9 represents 1999. The month is a standard mode code (ranging from F to Z, representing January through December), while the type is either C (for Call) or P (for Put). The symbol for the February 1999 Crude Oil call option at a strike of $15 would therefore be /CL9GC 1500.
