David, I use /YMM7-EC (the June contract). Note the slash at the beginning. I had the same trouble the first time around where it gave me a symbol error. I installed a corrected version of the plugin - albeit not anything that should address this - and it went through.
I see the same spikes that you mention in quite a few places. As mentioned, a 1-min chart gives something that looks to me like ticks, insofar they are all more or less just one pip in size. Also, we still cannot save the DB but they say to be waiting on a response from AB support on this issue.
