Hello

Thanks for your update. I'm trying to do this for LYSCF.

a) I can not get the quote board to show 4 decimals. The value is 1.57 and I would like the quoteboard to show 1.5740.
In Symbol Settings, I attached 2 images images for you to see where I set the quote value to 4 decimals. I tried all the other ????? settings too with the symbol format but it never chanaged from 2 decimals.

b) I can not get a linked chart to stick to 4 decimals either. When I set as I mentioned before, the chart settings to 0.0001 and click on LYNAS on the linked quoteboard, the chart shows 4 decimals. If I click to another symbol from the linked quoteboard the chart now reverts to 2 decimals and when I click on LYNAS again, it is back to 2 decimals. I tried your suggestion Global Symbol Settings: Instructions but I could not het it to work. There are many explanations on that page. Perhaps you can send the exact steps.

I have another problem re Canadian stocks on TSX and TSXV and CSE. I could not get any symbols to show quotes on the quoteboard chart using format explanation for IB you provide here Interactive Brokers Symbols: Stock Format

I attached a screenshot of the quoteboard. As that shows, the only way *quotes* would appear is

ZON-STK-SMART-CAD (TSXV - called VENTURE on IB description)
BTO-STK-SMART-CAD or (TSX - called TSE on IB description)
PREV-STK-SMART-CAD (CSE - called PURE on IB description)

etc.

But ONLY the TSX stock (i.e. BTO above) gets charted. The others do not.

Entering ZON-STK-SMART/VENTURE or BTO-STK-SMART/TSE format as explained on Interactive Brokers Symbols: Stock Format for MSFT (MSFT-STK-SMART/NASDAQ) didn't work nor anything else.

I also tried Interactive Brokers Trading Service: No Response When Downloading Historical Data and Timeouts which had no effect.

Please advise the exact symbol format and where to set whatever's needed for each of the three stocks above on TSX, TSXV and CSE (Pure) how to properly get quotes and intraday/historical charts.

Thanks
