Due to changes by Interactive Brokers, you now need to give more information to specify the symbol for Interactive Brokers. It is no longer possible to just use the ticker symbol.


In particular, you need to add at least the currency type for the symbol. Refer to the information for the Complete Stock Symbol Format in the following section:
