Thanks, Tomasz. It didn't work, but I think I'm making progress. I
plugged in: ESU5-GLOBEX-FUT and I got an error message, something
about not enough bars or data or something. Unfortunately, I thought
the problem was I needed to have the same symbol present in the TWS,
so I added it, and nothing changed. Thinking that I had to close and
reopen Amibroker for the changes to take effect, I closed and
reopened, Amibroker, and to my surprise, the area under "Symbols"
in "the box "Workspace" is not completely blank.
Questions:
1) Nothing at all under "symbols" when I reopened Amibroker. No
place to re-enter the ESU5-GLOBEX-FUT. What do I do now? How do I re-
enter the symbol? Why did this whole window go completely blank?
2) Was I correct in assuming that I needed the ESU5 showing on TWS
in order to get the data from IB?
3) For Amibroker to work with IB, does it matter if I am
in "underlying" mode or "symbol" mode?
Many thanks, Taz
