I did the following:

Select Global Settings >> Symbol Settings on the menu. Service: Interactive Brokers
Press Update From Server button. The button will be momentarily disabled. -> Done
Wait for the button to reenable which indicates the updating of the symbol settings is complete. Normally the updating should be done in less than 5 seconds. However, this could take longer depending upon the speed of your Internet connection, how much data has to be downloaded and how many existing symbols there are. It should not take longer than 30 seconds unless you have a connectivity problem.
When the update is complete, press OK. -> Done
Reconnect to the data feed by selecting File >> Disconnect and File >> Connect to Data Feed. -> Done

Then File -> Find Symbol, Instance Interactive Brokers [This Instance], no [M] in the chart.

If I want to change the Symbol just by activating a chart and typing e.g. "/BRCM", no [M]
appers. Same is the case if I link a Quote Board to the chart and browse through the
lists. Some Symbols like DE, MSFT, EXPE seem to show show no chart at all.

According to the description at leat 100 symbols from NASDAQ/NYSE should be loadable.
Since I use a scanner it is necessary to have random symbols loaded. I can not contact you
for every symbol.

Am I the first user who uses this in this feed ?
