IB- Problem With a Currency Combination Order

Hello-

I tried using the IB TWS to set up a combination order to
buy a euro contract and sell a yen contract.
I thought I did it right as the line looked okay on TWS.

But when I transmitted the order I got:
"ALL OPTIONS AND FUTURES IN THIS COMBO
MUST HAVE THE SAME MULTIPLIER"


The TWS "contract info-description": says:
"Underlying: eur, jpy
Security Type: Int Mkt Combo
Contract: + (1) 6EU5 - (1)6ju5
Exchange: SMART
Currency: USD
Combo Multiplier 125,000

To sell 1 Int Mkt Combo means:
1: Sell 1 EUR FUT SEP05 (125000) GLOBEX
2: Buy 1 JPY FUT SEP05 (12500000)Globex"

How do I set up an order to sell one eur and buy one JPY globex contract?
[I never encountered "Exchange: Smart" perhaps that is the trouble?]

Thank you.

 

We'll have a look tomorrow.

 

Thank you.

 

Hi-

Thank you,

Just wondering why U don't sell the cross contract (RYU5 on the IMM or EJU5 on the FINEX)?

 

How about JPY/EUR in IdealPro, looks like a tight spread.

 

The FINEX does not [currently] have it as electronically traded.

The IMM RYU5- does not seem to trade too often, but I do see this morning that it has 10 to 20 contracts on bid/asked. I will look into this further, especially whether there are good bid/asked spreads at night.
