[amibroker] Re: ASX Symbols for IB



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Update - thanks to AB tech support and for the sake of complete documentation for futures user searches.

For RT IB output to AB, for all NON - US symbols the IB format is SYMBOL-EXCHANGE-TYPE-CURRENCY

ie the currency & type is NOT OPTIONAL for NON US symbols.

Eg BHP traded on the ASX requires the full format BHP-ASX-STK-AUD

eg Macqaurie Bank is MQG-ASX-STK-AUD

Cheers
Ed


Hope this is of some use to others.
