I trade Hong Kong stocks. I have subscriped data feed on Hong Kong stocks through Interactive Brokers (IB).

I have connected Sierra to IB and able to draw charts on US stocks. However, I cannot find the HK stocks data in Sierra.

Please let me know how I can draw charts on HK stocks using data feed from IB.

Tkx!

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried using a seperator "/" and "." without success.

can you give me exact successful example (eg. HSBC I should use 5/HK or 5.HK)

I have used 0005/hk and 0005.hk and 00005/hk and 00005.hk and 5/hk and 5.hk.

Looking at Sierra mapping on IB I do not seems to see HK stocks. Do I need to do special mapping or is it automatic done by Sierra?

Here is the symbol to use:
5-STK-SEHK-HKD

This is the format you want to use:
