Hi all, after years of trading es mini futures I have lost the connection to ib. Problem: The symbol es-201306-globex is unknown to ib. Though it is the first one in line as suggested by sc http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/IBSymbols.html#Futures. As well I can select in the list (F5 Chart settings, find symbol). Should it still work? Did IB change symbol codes? |

Try one or both of these: 1. Update Sierra Chart to the current version by selecting Help >> Download Current Version. You really should update, but we assume there is some reason you are not. We cannot assure Complete compatibility with external services unless you update. 2. Try using this symbol: ES-201306-GLOBEX-USD Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I have updated now. The original reason for going back to a previous version was that the same problem occurred as now. Both symbols do not work (ES-201306-GLOBEX, ES-201306-GLOBEX-USD): Currently no data in file to display. Will start historical data download and real-time updates.

I just tried ES-201306-GLOBEX in my IB paper trading account. No problem: plots as it should.

Same here. Just opened an ES-201306-GLOBEX chart via Find Symbol in my Live IB account. Backfill and live data with no problems. pkhst958, you might want to try this: Global Settings >> Symbol Settings and then click the buttons "Update from Server" and "Full Reset". Maybe restart IB and SC after doing this. |

Hi all, thanks for your support. After understanding, that the symbol should work I have reinstalled the PC: Now it works again. Cheers, Peter |
