[amibroker] IB Futures Symbol syntax



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I have set up AB 4.7 + TWS 848.8 to recieve IB-RT data.

The setup is working successfully for stock symbols SPY, QQQQ, etc.

My problem is knowing the construction of futures symbols.  I have
tried for the mini-Dow September 2005 futures contract:

     YM SEP 05  - from the IB Help screen
     YM  SEP 05 - from the TWS Symbol description field
     SEP 05 Futures YM SEP 05 - from the IB help desk

None of which work, the error message is:
   "No security definition has been found for the request"

What should I try next?

Cheers,

Ed Hoopes
