To get index, futures, option and fored data you ahve to specify more 
than just the signal. 

SPX in AB is SPX-CBOE-IND 
RUT in AB is RUT-CBOE-IND
DJI is INDU-NYSE-IND, 
COMP is COMP-NASDAQ-IND 
VIX is VIX-CBOE-IND 
TRINQ is TRIN-NASD-NASDAQ-IND 
TRIN is TRIN-NYSE-NYSE-IND  

Options are similarly defined. Just use the same structure IB asks 
when you add a symbol to their TWS list.

You will see this defined in the Plug-in installation in the AB help.
