ICE format for Russell

[dloomis]

sellLimit ("tfs8-nybot-fut", 1, 679.3 ) ; doesnt seem to be the right command to get an order entered via efs to IB.

Any have an idea what the right code is?

Thanks.

Hello David,

I believe it has to do with the symbol you are passing and your symbol mapping. Try passing a valid eSignal symbol and make sure your IB symbol mapping is set up for that symbol.

Thanks for your suggestions Jason.

buyLimit("ES Z8", 1, 1100, "GLOBEX", "200812"); seems to work fine

but

buyLimit("TF Z8", 1, 600, "NYBOT", "200812"); doesnt

When I define the symbol for TF Z8 I use RUT and select the Dec contract.

Under IB, Symbol Mapping I have....

TF Z8, RUT-FUT-USD-200812:NYBOT, NYBOT, Future for the Alias, Instrument ID, List Exchange, Instrument Type, respectively.

Any ideas on what else might be missing?

Hey Guys,

See this post from last night:

I've replicated his findings and forwarded internally.

Never seen IB symbol lookup operate by using different underlyings' symbols and exchanges RUT = CBOE, TF = NYBOT (even though it's ICE), that combined with the changes to the contract's symbol change its listing and trading location.

Hopefully a workaround can be provided, followed shortly by the scheduling and implementing a permanent solution.

Hi Brent,

I'll see what can be done to fix this issue.

Regards.

Some one mentioned IB had changed their symbol for TF over the weekend, instead of finding it with RUT, TF now works.

Not sure if this is of consequence to this issue, but thought it might, so I mentioned it.

Also, the new version 10.2.1370.1358 gives me an error - Invalid template - when I try Trade, IB, Symbol Mapping.

I have buyLimit and buyStopLimit working by adding TF.

To get the Dictionary to open i used TF #F as the symbol, then looked for TF as a future on the NYBOT, this added the symbol.

Now lets see what happens real time tomorrow.
