QuoteTracker is not AB, you can not apply QT's help to AB.

IB Symbology guide http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html (scroll down)
it says clearly that all symbols follow SYMBOL-EXCHANGE-TYPE 
scheme, symbol is COMP, exchange is NASDAQ and
 indices have IND type. So:

COMP-NASDAQ-IND

>>From QuoteTracker IB Help:  For INDICES prefix the symbol with the
exchange and a dollar sign ($). For example, PHLX:$SOX

Ticker NASDAQ:$COMP works in QuoteTracker.
