[amibroker] What's the symbols for Dow, Nasdaq, SP500 when using IB as datafeed?

["archstone2003" <archstone2003@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When using IB as realtime datafeed, I can't get the symbols for Dow, 
Nasdaq and sp500.

Inside TWS, they are INDU, COMP and SPX respectively. However, when I 
tried to download the data from Amibroker, after I entered any of the 
above symbols, it will tell me the symbol is not valid.

I contacted IB, they just told me I should use INDU, COMP and SPX. Not 
very help information.

Anyone here is able to retrieve the indices using IB as the data feed?

Thanks.
