    I am getting invalid symbol when I enter zbz2, esz2 and gcz2 work. How do I get bond futures in motivewave?

    Can't find it. Motionwave says they use the connections native symbol codes. Maybe ask in the IB-specific section here?

    motionwave said use the root zb but that did not work either. I have moved onto ninjatrader.

    MotiveWave has no problems bringing up the ZB futures from IB.

    You entered an incorrect symbol format.

    The ZB contract for December is "ZB...DEC 22" where the dots are spaces.

    Same thing for the YM (YM...DEC 22) because both are native symbol forms for the ECBOT Exchange (at IB).
