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

If you want to make it easy to choose symbols you can use the Associated Watchlist functionality and add the symbols ahead of time:

You also have the ability to Import symbols. So you can prepare them ahead of time in a text editor or through a program.

And once again, using a single short symbol for the US markets and engaging in trimming we know is a mistake. This is coming from vast experience. Ultimately that needs to go where it remains for Positions and it has always bothered us.
