When running `ib.reqMatchingSymbols('pattern')` I will often get back many contracts where the conId=-1. Can anyone explain what the meaning is for these? They don't appear to be usable as far as I can see. Many of them appear to be bonds. I have yet to be able to access bond data with the api as well (with delayed or frozen market data types), if anyone can provide some working example with bond contracts. Thanks!
