TS4 tic charting

A rather strange occurance is going on when charts build up for tic data. I am using tradestation 4 and esignal realtime feed through dynastore. As the bars form (ex. using tic bars, say 400) they do not correspond to the tic number set forth under settings/format price data for two contracts: the AB (E-Mini Russell 2000) and the YM (Mini DJIA) as they build realtime. They appear to be around 90 or so tic bars but not exactly 90. I can go into the compression and recalculate the bars, say to 401 and then back to 400, and they compress back to what should be building up, ie. 400. As they build realtime, they again stretch out until I recalculate them under format price data/settings. Other contracts seem to be fine.
I assume that the contract specs are not correct, or something to that effect, for AB and YM, since I put them in myself. It is rather awkward to constantly recalc the chart to look at it correctly. If anyone has the correct info for these contracts that work for TS4 (currently symbol number and commodity are 0 under symbol information in TS4) or any idea what is going on, any comments would be greatly appreciated.
