after june expires next week i think, who cares about june---it's history.
so just change the "m" to "u" and do a backfill.  since you just started
today---you will get the 24hrs of backfill.

I have not tried this, but   IF you had started last week, then the data
from IB will only fill 24hrs.  I would then try to export the 2 symbols as a
csv's, combine them in notepad or Excel, and then Import the combined .csv
file back to AB....

Yes that is what I do BUT how can I connect to two together (June &
Sept), for backtesting over 3 or more months, as a continous stream
of data.
