hello joe, hello tomasz, i can confirm joe's problem, as i have started to get "symbol is invalid" errors as of yesterday 21.10.2008 as well. i am a very active trader using AB/IB every day. i have not made any changes to my setup at all, but out of the 100 tickers in my amibroker realtime quote window only about 40% receive RT quotes now, the rest stays blank. i only use the IB plugin for RT data, not for backfill. but when trying to backfill i receive the error "symbol is invalid! consult symbology guide." symbols include tickers like XOM, AEE, EXC, CLP ... these tickers do receive RT data in my TWS. my setup: IB1.80 TWS887.2 Java1.6.0.07.

This is coming with the use of a simple real time quote window with 1 minute resolution in the database configuration. Since I changed so many things at once (I had not used the IB plugin in a while) I'm not sure what's causing this. > > I'm getting SYMBOL INVALID on some plain vanilla large cap tickers, like say XOM rejected as well as some of the PROFUNDS DIG and others. I know these are valid since the work on IB and I can display them on the IB TWS graph and real time windows. > > Am I missing a configuration button that would point the DLL to the SMART exchange? > > Thanks > Joe >
