It gets worse. When IB disconnects(which more often that I want) and reconnects then I'm MISSING all quotes. No bid/ask! WTF?! Only charts. Then finally it reconnects correctly all the other symbols have quotes except the one I'm trading. So I don't even know the prices to get out. Scary. The only remedy is to log out and log back in.
Thanks for the advice. I switched to Dec and it worked fine. But the strange thing was the for the longest time I tried selecting the Dec contract and it wouldn't let me. So I stick with the continuous. Then later IB allowed me to click through and select the Dec contract. All these weird issues.
