Can't find contracts and straddles (1256 manual)

Am I in the right place? I think I went to investments--> interactive broker--> type manual 

 

the closest thing I found is options

I'm trying to enter in CME futures contracts

wrong section. did you click on what's not included in this section. one of them is C&S.

click on add more income

it's in the next section less common investments and savings. (To me a needless separation)

click on v then scroll down to C&S

Is this correct?

I have about 25 CME futures contracts, each is a monthly contract. Some months gains, some months losses, but net losses. 

 

I put net loss over the 25 contracts into "total loss", and left "total gain" empty
