Oil price on ADVFN?

Post by yorkshirelad1 »

Can anyone point me to a reasonable proxy for the oil price on ADVFN? I don't need anything specialist but it's useful to keep an eye on the general levels and movements. I have a monitor list which helpfully can include a few share prices, a couple of indices (FTSE100, Dow DJI), and a couple of exchange rates which is a helpful "at a glance" idea of what's happening. If I search for "oil" I seem to get oil futures, which obviously reflect the situation, but also expire when their time is up. digitallook used to have an item for "Brent Crude" which seemed to be a good reflection of what was thought to be the "oil price".
TIA

I don't use advfn so can't help, but if available what is wrong with oil price "futures"? If it's anything like other providers you should be able to use tickers for "front contract". As the name suggests these won't expire but roll. Are they available on advfn?
