I recently took some time off and find that none of my daily charts were updating anymore, even though I can get all the symbols on IB TWS. Before 4 June, I had no problems with the charts updating.

Of course I have manually entered symbol in AX in the symbol dictionary of QM as an eSignal symbol, giving the exchang...
