Post From: Can't chart futures spreads (using CQG data)

Problem 1 - Can't chart spreads for known symbol: Enter F.US.CLES12Z7 in FindSymbol dialog. From there if I click "OpenTrading DOM", it works fine - displays the DOM with correct price data. No problem. But if I create "Open Historical Chart", it opens a big black chart window, thinks about it for a few seconds, they displays "DOWNLOAD FAILED!" in a little red box. MY FRIEND WHO HAS SC+CQG DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING AND IT WORKED FINE FOR HER. So it must have something to do with my configuration???
You need to have your CQG account authorized for historical price data. Refer to:
CQG Trading Platform Service: CQG Exchange Traded Strategies/Spreads Symbol Format


Problem 2 - Can't retrieve symbols: In FindSymbol dialog, navigate to NYMEX Futures Spreads, then choose CL futures spreads. Once I have chosen that, it appears that the "Get Spreads" button is inteded to retrieve the available spreads for the selected category, but when I click it nothing happens.
