Problems with trading NYMEX futures from SCH

View Count: 904

I have a funded trading account with IB. I use SCH data feed [M] (service package 5). When I connect to IB TWS and want to trade e.g. Nymex futures (like CL) in SCH in RTH, I get only delayed data (although I can trade CL from TWS). I currently trade Globex futures with no problem. Other than Globex futures do not work. Can you help me?

This symbol is no longer trading: CL-201705-NYMEX

You will need to start trading July. Rollover to that month:

After rollover I got the same result. It does not work. I tried other futures outside Globex, same problem.

There should not be a problem with this.

After using the CL July symbol, post a copy of the message log again following these instructions:

I tried CL June and it did not work. CL July is OK and now other futures also. Seems to be OK. Thanks

Yes this does make sense . The June contract is no longer active at this time either.
