Post From: correct symbol of future weekly option for the 1st week of the month?

My datafeed is interactive broker.

The future weekly option for the 1st week of the month doesn't work in sierrachart.

Take euro fx weekly options from CME for example:

The symbol for an option expiring tomorrow, the last Friday of the month, is EUR-FOP-20140530-1.365-C-GLOBEX. Using this symbol, the chart loads without any problem.

For next week, the 1st Friday of June, I try to open a chart with the symbol EUR-FOP-20140606-1.365-C-GLOBEX, I got the message "Symbol is unknown".

The same symbol format is working for other weeks of the month, except the 1st week of the month. What's the correct symbol for it?
