Please enter YG|NYSELIFFE as symbol map and check if this result in data.

Downloaded the Current version V6.5.1000.11 (previously had .9) and then restarted the computer.

Wish I had better news, but unfortunately the problem is still there.

Hi,

What version of NT are you using? Can you check under Help--> About. Our current version is V6.5.1000.11.

If you don't have this version please upgrade and see if it clears the issue.

Have YG in the symbol map beside Interactive Brokers and yes in my IB TWS I receive real-time data for YG.

Also followed your instructions below, but the problem still persists.

(Noticed that the NT default setting for the YB Future has the exchange as ECbot, where as the IB TWS has the exchange as Liffe. So I changed the Instrument Manager setup for YG to reflect my IB TWS data feed ie. having the exchange also as Liffe)

Hello MrHope,

Can you please click the Misc-tab and check what symbol map is entered next to 'Interactive Brokers'.

Do you receive real-time data for the YG?

Try the following. Remove the YG from your instrument list in the Instrument Manager.

Go to Tools-->Options-->Misc-tab and click Reset Instruments.

Add the YG back to your list and check if the issue persists.

IB YG data issue

Dont seem to be able to get data for my YG instrument. Keep getting message "error in requesting historical data from IB:No security definition has been found for the request."

Yet I have live data in my IB TWS software for the YG Aug contract.

Also have YG in Instrument Manager set up with the same Symbol, instrument type, tick size, currency, point value, exchange and have been choosing the same Aug contract as in my TWS software.

Disconnecting, exiting and restarting computer doesn't change anything.

Any ideas?

All the parametres in NT are entered correctly, except the vertical slash for K200/KSE.
Could a forward slash prevent the data from being loaded?

Success. The forward slash does prevent the data from loading correctly.

Thanx thrunner and the NT guys.

Peaceout.

ascii 124 0x7c |, vertical bar

If you don't know how to enter that character, just copy and paste it.

K200|KSE

I got mine working after figuring out that i have to use korean won, not us dollar. What's the logic behind this that prevents it from getting data? I am not sur.

Hello ssg10,

I am glad to hear you got it working correctly. The currency needs to match the parameters set up by the exchange in order to receive data.
