I think I figured out why we are seeing some changes to the Peso futures. I typed MXP into TWS and the top item is the new Micro XRP futures (see at CME, where it indeed has the symbol MXP).

So I'm guessing IB is replacing MXP with 6M to make way for the new MXP.

I don't recall having had a symbol change like this before (I do recall when they changed Sugar from dollars to cents or the reverse), so I hope my system handles it well. (The issue may be how I store and retrieve historical data now that the symbol changes. I think my system will be fine, but I don't know for certain.)

yeah, brave new world - crypto is displacing the traditional assets
