    Hi,
    I'm using IB and Excel for my automated trading with stocks.

    I'd like to make test with Currencies and I try to download historical data for EURUSD in TWSDDEBeginners.xls... but that's not working and i have always "processing" in the Control cell.
    It's working for stocks ("processing" then "finished").

    Thats the row in Excel:
    Symbol Type Expiry Strike P/C Multiplier Exchange Primary Exchange Currency Comb Legs Ctrl End Date/Time Duration Bar Size What to Show RTH Only Date Format Style Page Name
    EUR CASH IDEALPRO USD PROCESSING 20090916 23:59:59 GMT 1 W 10 TRADES 1 1 ONE_WEEK_EURUSD


    Do you have an idea for my request in Excel?
