The factory method which you are using is only suitable for futures
contracts which expire on the March-June-September-December cycle. These
would be YM, ES, and NQ. For all other contracts, you should specify the
expiration explicitly:
Contract contract = ContractFactory.makeStockContract("HO", "NYMEX",
"200911");
