IB TWS API - new invalid symbol error
- Thread starter ggoom
- Start date
IMHO you'd be better off to go here and contact IB:

IB reps are good about posting on ET, but this not IB customer service.
Good luck and good trading to you.

Yes, I did.
But, those guys do not know what is going on and are not willing to help.
A one line reply: check with the software vendor.
I hope any IB representative here can help this issue. It seems that only new accounts with 6 digit id are affected, not the 'old' ones with 5 digit id.
Before IB made some changes on their servers, I can backfill and see quotes for say, AAPL, using the 3rd party software like Amibroker. Now, I cannot. The symbol AAPL is invalid. Instead, I need to type AAPL-SUPERSOES-STK or BA-NYSE-STK.
Even AAPL-SMART-STK is not working. That is, I guess I am receiving only a part of market data to my software.
Even though TWS is working fine, in my case, using SMART routings, I cannot trade because I cannot perform accurate tech. analysis.
As I said, I tried with IB help with no help... Can someone in IB help me?

I am using the previous version May ?, 2006, but it doesn't matter. Some other users already tried new versions, moved back to old versions, and retried new versions, etc ...
Thanks.
Because there were some issues with two early releases of 860.9 (put up and taken down) with the corrections in 860.9 dated Jun 20, time 12:00:36pm.
Might want to give it a try.
