I've been trying to figure this out for two days now. I cannot get backfill for my futures contracts on daily charts from IB. The problem is only with Futures daily Data. No problems with stocks or futures intra-day data.

The following is the log report for an attempt to get NQ and is the same for other contracts:

We know what the problem is. Refer to help topic 6.7 here:

You need to change the symbol of the chart to the correct symbol listed in the Find Symbol window. In this particular case it would be NQM14
