[Symbols (CORN e.g) not getting data from IB feed]

Excellent response time, but then, I already knew that.  Applied the update from the emailed link and can actually see the data now. Backfill worked fine too for all the three symbols I use from this family: CORN, SOYB & WEAT. Many thanks.

[Symbols (CORN e.g) not getting data from IB feed]

sigh. this is another situation where the symbol CORN with SMART exchange specification is "Ambiguous" for IB.  I fixed it just now. Select HELP / Check Updates and let it update all files, then restart MT (Even if nothing was updated)

 

Thanks for looking into this so fast.

 

So they want something like CORN-SMART-STK or what? What is the unambiguous form of the symbol? Anyhow, I applied the update, after which MT says: Unable to start Streamer IB. I have emailed the complete error message to support. Also when updating, I could not see an option to update all files. The Updates were only for IB and TDAmeritrade.

[Symbols (CORN e.g) not getting data from IB feed]

I am using TWS Build 949 3a. TWS shows data for symbols CORN, WEAT, SOYB and I am able to chart it in TWS. MT cannot backfill or get any data for these symbols. Mouse-over the symbol name shows the correct description in the portfolio panel, so I am guessing there is no symbology issue with IB API. Odd that these three symbols are from the same ETF family (Teucrium). Any suggestions?

[CMEGroup RTH hours]

I think CMEGroup changed the roll-over time to 5:00 CST which starts a new contract date. Even though Open Outcry closes at 3:15, Globex close is at 4:15CST. So for data gathering purposes, Globex RTH is from 8:30CST to 4:15CST including the 15 minute time out after 3:15. RollOver at 5:00CST.

 

Is there an easy way to move the Holidays list to a custom time frame setting?

 

TIA

[Futures symbols for IB Datafeed]

Got the futures symbols information I was looking from another post here. Still looking for Alerts, if implemented in the beta yet.
