[amibroker] Re: ib combo symbols



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

IB calls combo the spread between 2 different securities, for example
futures with different expìration, or different futures (ER2-ES for
example).

Combo between different futures appear on the tradestation with
symbols like "er2,es", but I think this symbols are not accessible
historically from API(so AB cannot backfill them), and are built by
the tradestation calculating the spread as I am doing now "manually".

In any case, the real technical simple question was how to put a comma
in the symbol name without AB interpreting it as a separator

Thank

Ly
