Hi,

NGH21-NYMEX is not streaming for some reason, historical data downloads ok, but chart does not move, DOM is empty and quoteboard is all zeros.

Excerpt from msg log:
SC Data - All Services | Received security definition for symbol NGH21 | 2021-01-20 12:01:29.795
Symbol Error - NGH21-NYMEX is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. Already subscribed to symbol. New subscription rejected. | 2021-01-20 12:01:29.795

NGG21-NYMEX works correctly, so does NGJ21-NYMEX.

Ok, it is working now, seems there was a historical chart that had the old symbol format, I assume this was causing the problem?
Sorry to waste your time.
