no, this is something with IB - I emailed to check on this on Monday. Didn't get a reply back yet. will ping them again. Basically, when they return position data, the "Local symbol" they return is CLH5, but MT is using the individual contract components to build the symbol and for that they are returning CL, 02 20 expiration (February), which converts to G. No idea why. Do you know anything about that?
