Thanks. I have success with one option symbol (for SPY) but am having difficulty with another (for SPX). I took the contract information directly from IBs "Contract Description" and formatted it in the way mentioned in the link you provided. The SPY contract (SPY-OPT-20170317-226-C-SMART-100-USD) works fine but the SPX (SPX-OPT-20170317-2260-C-SMART-100-USD) does not. It does not say "Symbol Unknown" but simply opens a blank chart or says "Downloading Historical Data" and then "Download Failed". I've checked over the symbols many times to make sure they are correct, is there something I am missing or doing wrong?
