Post From: IB order symbol is different than position symbol although both are the same instrument

Even though the Trade Position list uses the shorter symbol, you will still see the position on a chart with the extended symbol details. That is handled automatically in the case of Interactive Brokers.

Interactive Brokers does not use single unified symbols per instrument. Their symbology is immensely complicated and variable.
