Re: [amibroker] IB stock symbols invalid

["emp62" <emp62@xxxxxxx>]

I just tried NYSE stocks and it works for me as well: like CRK-NYSE-STK or CRK-NYSE

however I can't download Nasdaq stocks. I tried for instance VRSN-NASDAQ-STK and VRSN-NASDAQ and I get again the message that the symbol is invalid. Any ideas?

rgds, Ed

  i've been able to get AMEX and NYSE issues...by using -NYSE or -AMEX extensions on the ticker.
  eg DIA-AMEX  T-NYSE  but nothing for nasdaq related or currency related IDEALPRO symbols.

    it doesn't matter. My account even doesn't work with version 857 anymore. There is something else going on. Although I can show IB's data are coming in (using the program VB_API_Sample.exe) they must have changed something in the format of the data so that Amibroker can no longer read it.  Weird thing is that for some accounts it works and others it doesn't.

        Did you upgrade your TWS to 860.9? If so, downgrade to previous version.
