[amibroker] Re: Issues/Questions using IB Data

I had similar problems.  To force backfill rightclick the CONN icon in
the lower right-hand corner, then BackFill Current.

As far as the symbols.  You MUST have 3 spaces after YM and ZB, and
one space after Sep.  This may not print correctly due to Yahoo!
reformatting email messages.

Try these:

6AU5-GLOBEX-FUT
ER2U5-GLOBEX-FUT
ESU5-GLOBEX-FUT
NQU5-GLOBEX-FUT
YM   SEP 05-ECBOT-FUT
ZB   SEP 05-ECBOT-FUT
