I've never seen this before:

Trying to open an intraday chart for the VIX and can't get the symbol right so I abandoned ship and just tried to load the VXX etn and I get this error:

HD Request # 38 | Requesting 1 Day of data at 30 secs with ending Date-Time at 2014-11-08 12:28:55 for VX-2015-02-CFE | 2015-01-30 12:56:27
HD Request # 38 | Message from IB: Error validating request:-'qd' : cause - Currency CFE is not allowed. IB Error Code: 321. Request ID: 309. | 2015-01-30 12:56:27


I am just entering VXX as the symbol so I'm not sure why it is attempting the -CFE suffix and trying to put it through as USD which is what my currency is set to as default.

For the record if I put in VIX-201502-CFE-USD as the symbol for Feb VIX futes I get this:

HD Request # 38 | Requesting 1 Day of data at 30 secs with ending Date-Time at 2014-11-26 12:28:55 for VX-2015-02-CFE | 2015-01-30 12:59:33

If I drop the CFE and just go -USD I get the same error. Also if I drop all the suffixes and just go VIX-201502 same thing.
