error in requestin historical data from ib

08-04-2009, 04:01 PM

No security definition has been found for the request.

Hello,
Trying to backtest TNA and I tried setting the instrument to arca and Island ( That seems to be what Ib uses when I trade this ) and still get this message. Any Ideas?

update: I changed the symbol map for interactive brokers to "TNA". Now when I try to backtest it computes for a while and I get no results.

Please enter the IB ticker symbol as the 'map' and set the exchange to 'default'.

Please also ensure you run TWS 892.7 as per our guide here -
