i downloaded the demo of IB this weekend but am unable to get AMEX or ECBOT quotes. please correct me if im wrong, but it seemed like these market centers are included with a new account. if so, is there any particular reason im unable to view them with the demo account? any help is appreciated. thanks!

Did you try it today? The servers aren't available on Saturday. :) The demo software is the same as the regular software. Just the login is different. Different user name and password. Are you using YM for the Mini-Sized Dow on ECBOT if that's what you're looking for?
I guess I'm talking about paper trading once you have an account. I guess the demo without an account is different.
Here are the available trade symbols in the demo http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/availableSymbols.php?ib_entity=llc
 
thanks both of you. i guess this is just a limitation of the demo software. i assume i'll beable to access AMEX and the rest of the ECBOT (YI and YG in particular) quotes with a normal account and the US Securities & Commodities Non-Professional Bundle (Includes all Stock, Options, Futures and Bond markets) - $10/mo minimum.
