Post From: Having trouble with an ASX symbol and SC historical data feed

There is no symbol mapping for the Australian exchange symbols with Interactive Brokers. And I'm not looking for a symbol mapping for IB. If I wanted to use IB I would have used SLF-STK-ASX, but I don't. I want to use the SC Historical Data Service which I'm paying for as part of my service package. The same service that explicitly says it offers historical data for the ASX exchange (Sierra Chart Historical Data Service: Included Markets) and the documentation says right there the symbol is SLF.AX. That isn't working because SC isn't mapping the ASX exchange correctly. The reason it isn't an issue with TSX stocks is because it is mapping them correctly. Also in all of these cases you have been using Interactive Brokers. Not the Sierra Chart Historical Data Service. This is not accurate at all. Look right here at the log. I have DISCONNECTED entirely from IB within SC, deleted data and redownloaded for symbol XRE.TO (a TSX symbol which does work): Software version: 1371 \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Uses New Spreadsheets \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Usage end date: 2016-04-06 \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: Advanced Features. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: Advanced Features 2. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: Sierra Chart Historical Data Service. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: Sierra Chart Real-Time Exchange Data Feed. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: INDEXES_DATA_BARCHART \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: CME (Trading Account Required) \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: CBOT (Trading Account Required) \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: COMEX (Trading Account Required) \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: NYMEX (Trading Account Required) \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: ICE USA \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Enabled for: ICE Europe \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Received 1 data feed usernames. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds is enabled. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Current selected Data/Trading service: Interactive Brokers \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Chart Update Interval: 125 \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Time Zone: -08:00:00 (PST-08PDT+01,M3.2.0/02:00,M11.1.0/02:00) \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Local computer time \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 2016-02-23 10:48:44 Local computer time in UTC \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Local computer time in SC Time Zone \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 2016-02-22 01:34:31 Server time in UTC \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Local computer UTC time and Server UTC time difference: 0 seconds. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Program path: C:\SierraChart\ \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Data Files path: C:\SierraChart\Data\ \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 OS Version Number: 6.2 \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 Locale Information: C \| 2016-02-23 02:48:44 File >> Disconnect selected. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46 Socket (2144) \| Shutdown and closed. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46 Socket (2145) \| Shutdown and closed. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46 SC Data - All Services \| Disconnected from the server. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46 Socket (2146) \| Shutdown and closed. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46 SC DTC Data \| Disconnected from the server. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46 Interactive Brokers \| Disconnected. \| 2016-02-23 02:48:46[ HD Request # 2545 \| Downloading Historical Daily chart data for XRE.TO.

The issue here is entirely about why ASX symbols are not working as they should be, just as they work with TSX and just as they work with equities.us symbols. It has nothing to do with IB.
