Hello, I am trading with IB for almost 2 years now. So it is no newbie issue.
Somehow MC shows me in Quote Manager that the NGG9 and the NGH9 are both expiring in Feb 09. When I try to load data for NGH9 it says "No Data". When I try to place an order via API it says "No security definition has been found".
Maybe MC can differ between the two contracts?

Trouble with IB - Two contracts same expiry month
Re: Trouble with IB - Two contracts same expiry month
I mean can not differ between the two contracts. Same symbolroot NG, multiplier, etc., but expiring on different days in Feb 09Maybe MC can differ between the two contracts?
Hi, any news on this one? IB / TWS Nat Gas Future NGH9 @Nymex shows error "No Symbol" in MC 4. If you ask because the only difference between NGG9 (Feb Contract) and NGH9 (March) is the expiry DAY not month. So MC cannot distinguish between the two contracts?!
This is causing major trouble with me (no Trading). Could you please check....

IB sometimes sends their symbols with wrong expiration months (I have seen it on several users' pc's). To have the data plotted, simply change the contract month in both the symbol name and the symbol description .
