I'm trying to download hist data for an instrument from IB but I get "invalid symbol" and "unauthorized user". I use IB to download historical data for forex symbols into HDM. Until today it ran fine.
Til now I always downloaded $AUDCAD from IB but I just added a new instrument into the Instrument Manager, $AUDCAD_IB and gave it the same Interactive Brokers symbol (AUD.CAD) but it gives me these two errors every time I try downloading.
What have I done wrong? I double checked the symbol I gave in the Instrument Manager.
I attached the IB and the NT logs (including the API log) - I couldn't see what I'd done wrong myself though.
