When I duplicate a 30 minute chart and then change symbol to FDAX-201406-Eurex, the chart data appears. When I change the symbol to Z-201406-NYSE_Liffe (FTSE100) or jFCE-201406-NYSE_Liffe (CAC40), no chart data appears. I am using a package 5 SC instance with AMP/TTNet Trading Service and no other data subscription. My shortest chart periodicity is 30 minutes. What can I do to have 30 minute charts for FTSE100 and CAC40 futures?

Re the FTSE100 underlying, Daily and Intraday.. I use IB, where the ticker used to be Z in TWS and Z-I-LIFFE in Sierra Chart. Now that ICE have taken over Liffe, this no longer works. The ticker Z still works in TWS, so is there a new ticker to use in Sierra Chart?

I'm having trouble with that too since the March changeover Tried all sorts of ways of entering tickers.

Thank you. I need the Underlying Index ticker. That symbol format looks like one for Futures. (I tried it anyway, in File>Open>Intraday chart - using Z-201406-LIFFE-GBP-1000 and it came up Symbol is unknown)

For the cash FTSE use this symbol: Z-IND-LIFFE-GBP (I tried it anyway, in File>Open>Intraday chart - using Z-201406-LIFFE-GBP-1000 and it came up Symbol is unknown) You will need to contact Interactive Brokers about this and determine what the problem is. They probably will need to look at your TWS log file. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Tried Z-IND-LIFFE-GBP for new Historical chart and for new Intraday chart (1-min). Result in both cases - a blank/empty chart window
