Hello Hamall9, with COMEX symbols I recommend using the electronic symbols since the day/pit rarely trade. For the symbols you provided use QGCM9 for Gold, QSIN9 for Silver, and QHGN9 for Copper, or use the Continuous Contracts which are QGC#, QSI#, and QHG#.

Hello Hamall, the only one that I was able to find was CI.X on the ICE exchange which is Continuous Commodity Index.
