HI All,

To dowload data from Interactive Brokers to SierraChart there are some convention.
For example if I download "ING" the convention are "ING-STK-AEB".
Question: can I change the name to "ING" and than save it, so I can do some backtesting (the name is long).
It is not possible in SiereChart to dowmload "ING" because "ING" and "ING-STK-AEB" is not the same data/price.

Best,
Iwan

You need to use the complete symbol format.

So it has to be: "ING-STK-AEB".

Hi All

Question was:
If I already dowload the data with the right convention "ING-STK-AEB" for 1 month period.
Is it now possible to change the header "ING-STK-AEB" in only "ING". It most be possible I already dowload the data and SierrChart is disconnect.

Best,
Iwan
