The symbol for the Dow $5 contract is /YMM7-EC. There were problems
requesting historical data for futures. That has been fixed. There were also
problems with the 5 and 15 second interval. That also has been fixed. Make
sure that you are running version 0.1.2. Remember that this is still alpha
software and has not even reached beta status. Probably the biggest problem,
now, is that the data is not being stored to the local database. You restart
AB and the data is gone. A request to AB support has been made and they are
waiting for a replay.

CJ, what symbol did you use for the YM? I tried every combination of
/YM<month><year>-<exchange> (e.g. /YMH7-EC) that I could think of and could not
get a valid symbol for historical data. I also changed the setup to various
servers thinking maybe futures data is handled on different servers than stock
data.
I took a look at historical stock data for MSFT and noticed a lot of bad
(or maybe late) ticks which cause big spikes up and down on my charts. I'm
guessing that those ticks are there in raw data feeds and services like eSignal
and DTN filter them out. Since IB takes 200ms snapshots, it would be rare to
exactly catch one of those blips using an IB feed.
The CBOT does not charge an exchange fee for its real-time e-minis, so it's
also free with opentick. Once I can get a valid YM symbol, I would like to
test the opentick YM in real-time.
Thanks,
David

onelkm, yes, that is pretty much what I see too. They have
acknowledged a few problems and they are as fast as TJ to get fixes
out, though one gets the impression that there are still some issues
to be ironed out.
I tried 1-min data for YM (Dow mini - it's free to test) but it looked
more like tick data to me (though I haven't verified this). There does
seem to be holes in the data here and there too.
Also, I am not quite sure how the real-time is supposed to work (i.e.
does it come automatically once requested or do I have to keep
requesting it and refreshing the chart).
Still, early days, and it does show potential.
