Hi,

I have basically the same question.

Zorro: 1.50 free version
IB TWS: 952.3b (with the standard demo account user "edemo", pwd "demouser")

For the demo account, IB streams simulated ticks for a number of instruments, for example for "MSFT" (US stock). Zorro does receive these ticks when I set in AssetsFix.csv

MSFT,64.1600,0.01000,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0.000000,0.0000,0.000,0.0,0.000,MSFT

IB also streams simulated ticks for the Eurex Dax Future, March 2017 contract. However, when I try in AssetsFix.csv the line

FDAX,11985.50,0.50,0.50,0.50,0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,25,3.5,DAX-FUT-20170317-FDAX

I get the error message:

<strategy name>

I also tried some obvious variations such as "201703" for the expiry, etc., no result.

Any idea?

Kind regards,

Gloria
