To get index, futures, option and fored data you ahve to specify more than just the signal.
SPX in AB is SPX-CBOE-IND RUT in AB is RUT-CBOE-IND DJI is INDU-NYSE-IND, COMP is COMP-NASDAQ-IND VIX is VIX-CBOE-IND TRINQ is TRIN-NASD-NASDAQ-IND TRIN is TRIN-NYSE-NYSE-IND Options are similarly defined. Just use the same structure IB asks when you add a symbol to their TWS list. You will see this defined in the Plug-in installation in the AB help.
