From http://www.openecry.com/trading/order-types.cfm

futures->softs-> White Sugar's symbol is WSG.

We use this API call: OECAPI()->RequestContracts(...).
When we send in "WSG", OnContractsChange() returns a "W".

CString csStr = "WSG";
OECAPICOM::IBaseContractPtr bc = OECAPI()->BaseContracts->FindBySymbol((LPCTSTR) csStr);
if(bc)
{
OECAPI()->RequestContracts(bc); //subscribe to get this base contract.
}

apiOEC::OnContractsChanged(LPDISPATCH/*IBaseContract*/bc)
{
OECAPICOM::IBaseContractPtr BaseContract = bc;
BaseContract->Symbol; //This gives us the "W"
//OECAPICOM::IContractPtr con = contracts->ItemByIndex(I);
//std:string base = con->BaseSymbol; //"W" again
}

We tested it through OEC_Trader_Demo_3.5, but were unable to find the WSG symbol at all (or the "W" symbol).

Can you verify that WSG is currently unavailable and that this is perhaps an OEC-side bug?

It looks like WSG is being returned by the demo server again so we can no longer reproduce this error.

It would have been nice to know that this was server-side and what tests we ought to be doing to avoid a bad value in OnContractsChanged.
