Post From: Cannot construct a continuous future for AIGCI (on IB)

Thanks, it is this one: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricultural/commodity-index/bloomberg-commodity-index_contract_specifications.html
I just realized I can find so far all relevant symbols under the SC Data feed documentation.

More general, I trade a lot of nonstandard futures, like the Eurex 600 Sector futures (e.g. fa/ IB sx7e) which are not defined in the IB service settings yet, and I managed to setup the rules for some by copying other eurex future settings (under symbol settings) to construct continuous charts.

But there are a lot of fields under "symbol settings", which are the most crucial fields I need to fill in order to just show correct continuous charts (without trading or even just to show EOD data (from the SC historical data feed)?
Is there an easier way to set these settings up for a larger number of symbols?

Also, how can i backup the symbol settings? I understood they are overwritten once I update symbols from the server.

thanks a lot!
