Since this morning I dont get the DAX-quotes anymore in my Sierra charts.
I use IB and get the DAX-quotes there without any problem.
The symbol in IB is the same as last week when Sierra accepted it: DAX Dec18`15@ DTB
The quotes from ESTX50 Dec18`15 @ DTB also function without any problem in IB AND Sierra Chart.

But since this morning Sierra Chart gives the message concerning the DAX: Symbol unknown.
What Can I do? Can you fix the problem?
Best regards
N. Feddersen
