YM symbols for Sierra Charts

[smiley]

Hi

I'm setting up Sierra charts with an IB feed for the first time this evening but I can't get the YM chart up. Managed to get IBM and Microsoft charts going(not sure how though!) Anyway the YM prices are showing on my IB page so I can only think that I'm inputting the wrong symbol?

ANY help would be great.

BIG Thanks

p.s. Why do I have the feeling that the answer is staring me in the face? !!!

I use backfill for YM with Sierra from scmagic this makes it easy as when you download the backfill the symbols appear in the data window, if you don't do this the symbol I think is
ym-200412-ecbot obviously the date changes as the contracts roll over.

Thanks Schoe

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Whatever I try I keep getting "symbol is unknown or improperly formatted"

Ah well I've only been trying for three hours. Too early to give up.
