Post From: Interactive Brokers data feed: Setting EOA Symbol through CHIXDE Exchange

Hello SC Support,

I am trying to open a chart and a DOM for this symbol but I just get the following message:

“Symbol Error: Unknown symbol with ID 100036 is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted.”

My data feed for stocks is from IB.

The symbol I need to open a chart is EOA (The company is E.ON, from Germany).

The exchange I use for this symbol is CHIXDE.

So, I open a chart then follow the instructions provided in this link (http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/IBSymbols.html#Stock) and insert the following symbol:

EOA-STK-CHIXDE

When I click apply I just get that mentioned message and I can’t figure out why.

The symbol is working perfectly with TWS and Ninja Trader (with NT the symbol is EOA|CHIXDE).

Could you please give me some instructions?

Thanks in advance.
