hi again

- for the PINK thanks, i got it. i had assumed that since the stock was a PINK stock, it would use the ... SMART/PINK format. My mistake. So that's solved. Thank you.

OPTIONS
- for the option, the desc from IB TWS which they told me to use (per your help also) for SPY is

Security Type OPT
Underlying SPY STK
Contract Month JAN20
Expiration Date JAN 17 '20
Last Trading Date JAN 17 '20
Strike 311
Right Call
Currency USD
Multiplier 100
Exchange SMART
Trading Class SPY
Symbol SPY 200117C00311000
Product Type Equity
Settlement Method Physical Delivery
Exercise Style American

So I created per SC help

SPY-OPT-20200117-308-C-SMART-100-USD

This shows values for Last, DailyChange Volume, etc. BUT NOT Open Interest.

And Charts are not displaying as I said.

IB say they are transmitting everything.

I can easily pull up that Option detail and chart in other software connecting to IB via API.

So if the problem is there, it probably is on your end OR please advise how to format the contract properly from the info above.

- TSX, TSXV and CSE (Pure)
CANADA STOCKS

Here is the contract spec for a CSE (Pure stock)

Underlying PREV
Security Type STK
ISIN CA74141E1043
Currency CAD
Exchange SMART
Primary Exchange PURE
Symbol PREV
Sector Consumer, Non-cyclical
Industry Pharmaceuticals
Category Medical-Drugs
Issuer Country CA  

I created the contract per your specs as for IBM which is
IBM-STK-SMART

So I did
ZON-STK-SMART - didn't work. No data on quoteboard.

Then I tried per your spec for specific exchange as
HNDL-STK-NSE-INR

So I did
ZON-STK-VENTURE-CAD - only Name was displayed but no data no chart

Then I tried the Stock with Specified exchange per your instructions
MSFT-STK-SMART/NASDAQ

So I did
ZON-STK-SMART/VENTURE - nothing shown at all
but when I tried ZON-STK-SMART/VENTURE-CAD - all data shows up BUT no chart, only ONE bar (today)

I also tried
ZON-STK-SMART-CAD-VENTURE (which per your instructions that says use the info in the TWS description separated by dash) - all data shows up BUT no chart, only ONE bar (today)
ZON-STK-SMART-CAD (same as above for ZON-STK-SMART-CAD-VENTURE)

All these chart fine whether historical or intra day on other programs connecting to TWS via API.

However, *TSE* stocks work perfectly in SC and chart and display quoteboard data. I used
TGOD-STK-SMART-CAD

Please test the Option contract above and Venture stock above and advise proper way to specify the symbols for data and chart.

I've tried all the manual info, searched the forums and also contacted IB and it's being set per your instructions and theirs (same as other software).

Thanks for your help.
