Hello,

You are simply using WRONG SYMBOLS.
==========================

Read Symbology guide at:
http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html

and make sure that you use symbols EXACTLY
as it is described there.

You should not use YM SEP 05@xxxxx
but rather:
YM   SEP 05-ECBOT-FUT

(there are EXACTLY THREE spaces between YM and SEP)
