VS ...

we're leaving for Dallas in a few minutes to do the final (yeah .. I bet) Christmas shopping ... or so I've been told ... so I'll just give a quickie reply to your post ...

the screen I looked at yesterday was a futures only account ... the name starts with a "C" so he'd been able to load it for a while ..

as we didn't send off an order, I guess it was possible that it was a demo ... I dunno for sure ... but he *thought* it was for real ...
it is way too early for me to call this morning as I know he is still asleep but I will check with him tomorrow as I suspect that we'll spend the night in Dallas ....

it has been so long ago that I used the demo on tws that I don't recall how primitive it was .... all I know is that the working model I've been using for a fairly long time has been good for me ......

as far as the number of accounts ... I have only one -- a futures only account ...
"C" has one --- a futures only account and another friend has three ... a futures only , an equity, and a futures account for his son ....

later \Nemer

You may be loading the wrong symbols.

I think you leave off the H1 and just type

ES
CME
200103

and mark it as Future.
