symbol mapping problem

[farshine]

I connect to IB and can not mapping ES Z1 to future in esignal 11.3. Here is the screen shot.

The error you're getting if fairly rare. The more popular symbols such as ES will auto map when they've been added to a chart of Trade Manager window. In this case it appears that TWS is not recognizing it's own symbol.

I would suggest removing this symbol from your dictionary (Trade-->Broker Manager-->Symbol Dictionary/Order Defaults) and manually mapping it back in. In Article 4867 are step by step instructions on adding symbols to the dictionary.

Hope this helps

I have the same problem with the PFG interface. I want to add ES #F=2(with a blank character between S and #) in the broker manager but it's not possible. When I'm deleting the blank I can add it. But the charts are not working with ES#F=2. This seems to be a bug...

In 10.6 it's working fine with the blank!
