Did you post your question to the Amibroker Yahoo groups? http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/ You have a good chance of getting an answer there.
You must first click on "Symbol" and then "New" and add new symbols before you can chart any new symbols.
it wont let me... only let me do NYSE's with the above posted sybology, nasdaqs its not working for some reason..
i figured it out, you can delete this thread, AMIBROKER's latest IB.dll doesnt work. i had to downgrade.
<b>Latest version (1.6.8) works perfectly. I am using it everyday as well as thousands of other users. If something does not work then there are zillions of postings on our YahooGroup (6000+ members there)</b> I was having the same problem with futures as the original poster. Specifically, I kept getting an incorrect symbology error with ESZ6. Downgrading back to version 1.6.6 of the IB RT dll cleared up the problem. I'm glad the OP posted the problem and solution here.
