Symbol Error - (unknown symbol with ID 19390) is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. The contract description specified for TSLA is ambiguous; you must specify the currency. | 2023-08-03 11:50:22.383 Symbol Error - (unknown symbol with ID 19391) is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted.

For example, this is occurring for SPY and TSLA. Is there something I can do to specify the currency? These tickers are built-in consolidated equities tickers that should have the proper IBKR symbol trade formatting put in by Sierra Chart. I have never modified the symbol settings for these tickers. |
