Post From: TD Ameritrade issue with autotrading BRK/B

I am having trouble trading this symbol on my Spreadsheet for Trading using my TD Ameritrade acoount. I can get an updated chart using TD Ameritrade data feed using BRK/B as my symbol and simulated auto trading works great. The problem is that when I switch to live trading I get a trading service log error:

Trade Order Error - Order error: TDA order update. Please enter a valid stock symbol.. Internal Order ID: 4274. Service Order ID: (none). Symbol: BRK/B | 2015-11-11 10:45:56 *

Please note trading this Berkshire Hathaway Class B common stock on the TD Ameritrade website requires the use of BRK.B symbol (not BRK/B).

I tried changing my SC chart symbol from BRK/B to BRK.B but the chart ( and the spreadsheet for trading) is blank and not updating each second on the chart and the automated spreadsheet for trading as it did with the use of symbol BRK/B?

What is the solution so that I can auto trade this stock?
