Re: Symbol Settings for US Treasury Bond (ZB)
Hi, the Min.Movement should be 10 instead of 1 and the Price Scale 1/32 and 10th of 32.
The easiest way to find correct settings for IB is to go to Tools->Symbol Dictionary->Data Source: esignal and double click on the Root you search (ie ZB) and copy that settings in your IB symbol settings or root.
