[amibroker] IB Symbols for European Futures

["nikkunayar" <nikkunayar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys

I did a search of the boards for the correct symbols for the DAX, the 
EUROSTOXX 50 and the BUND Futures contracts if you're using an IB 
datafeed. I can successfully get IB TWS to display the data for the 
EUROSTOXX by using the symbol ESTX50. For the BUND I can use GBL. I 
put these symbols in the symbol field and click enter and I get FESX 
DEC 07 and FGBL DEC 07. Therefore my IB account is configured with 
the correct permissions. I double checked with IB that I have the 
data access permissions. 

However, no matter what combination of dashes and spaces I try, I 
can't get Amibroker to display these charts. The guide for how to get 
charts using AB data is here

I have tried i.e.

FGBL   DEC 07-DTB-FUT and

FGBL DEC 07-DTB-FUT

and a bunch of other things. 

Is anyone trading the European futures using IB data and if so could 
you give me the correct format for the symbols for the BUND, THE 
EUROSTOXX and the DAX? 

The strange thing is I did a search of the Yahoo boards here and 
found these posts. Here, two guys cite two different symbols as the 
correct ones for the December DAX (for IB data users). Is it GXZ7 or 
FDAX DEC 07?
