Post From: IB Symbol naming in Sierra for Ftse100 options

Thank you
Using Z-OPT-20141219-6800-C-ICEEU-1000-GBP
I have tried opening intraday and historic charts during market hours and during closed hours without success

The symbol format appears to comply with the rules and doesn't throw up errors refering to symbol format but fails to find any data to download.

For information I have also tried (and failed)
replacing OPT with O
replacing 20141219 with 201412
also leaving off the currency and multiplier parts of the symbol in case a default existed

I should add that during these trials, charts are available within IB's TWS app so the data does exist somewhere
I have attatched Sierra log files for both scid and dly charts for you info

There seems to be an interface problem somewhere, I hope you can advise how to get these charts but meanwhile enjoy thanksgiving
