QuoteTracke can't see YM via Interactive Brokers account

[affan]

I am entering symbol as
'ECBOTYM SEP 08'

as it shows on http://www.quotetracker.com/help/ib.shtml

also Euro Stoxx 50 doesn't work.

"ECBOTYM SEP 08" works for me (QT with IB)

 

[ATLien]

'ECBOTYM SEP 08'

"For YM underlying symbol, you would need to add spaces to fill in the SSSS section of the symbol since YM is just 2 characters:
ECBOTYM SEP 08"

You were missing a space I believe? Two spaces between YM and SEP

 

[FightTheFuture]

Try 3 spaces even though QT site would seem to mean 2 spaces.

This is from the notes that I refer to on occasion for the YM.

'ECBOTYM (3 SPACES) SEP (1 SPACE) 08'

apostrophe at start and end

3 spaces

1 space

Pasting the YM example from the QT website into wordpad reveals 3 spaces also.
