UPDATE:
Very strange, and this is undoubtedly another IB quirk.
I tried then two symbols below (for the 10th time) without the three
spaces between the first element and then month. Then the phone rang
and so I went to answer it. I came back 15 minutes later and voila!!
The FDAX had loaded. Now... I had tried this at least 10 times
between last night and now, with no luck (this is 100% for sure - I
tried all possible combinations of symbols).
So.. what is working now is the symbols without the 3 spaces for FDAX
and FGBL (DAX and BUND).
FDAX DEC 07-DTB-FUT
FGBL DEC 07-DTB-FUT
The EUROSTOXX symbol still isn't working... so if anyone happens to
know anything about it, please feel free to chime in, but once again,
it's not Amibroker's problem.
