How To: Request market data for Futures?

  1. Hey Guys,

    I trade some futures, and I'm having some trouble requesting live market data for them. For instance, I request all positions I have, and then as they are reported to me I use the Contract class from them to request market data. This seems to work fine for US Equities, but it doesn't appear to work for futures.

    How can I/how do I properly use the API to request market data for futures?

    Also, any idea on when the new IB Beta API will be ported to C#? The Reuters fundamental additions look baller.

    In TWS I'm able to get market data to show up by adding the futures to my watch lists etc, but I haven't been able to do it through the API (pointing this out as I don't believe its a data permissions thing).

    Thanks a ton, and I continue to love this API.
