Re: Symbol list question - for stocks
Update since I left Multi and moved to NT for everything: I've had two symbol mapping issues that was a quick resolution. That's it. I haven't touched their database for anything else, incl IPOs.

Re: Symbol list question - for stocks
Hi Anna, I am now using NT in a production/live account and so far, I haven't had to manually add ANY equities. Zero. I just 'type and go', like ToS, TS, etc. Once I connected NT to IB, I've done nothing but focus on trading. I only trade US equities so I cannot comment on Swedish stocks. Via MC ema...

Re: Symbol list question - for stocks
Hi Anna - I have been demo'ing NT since I started to look at Multicharts too and I have yet to manually enter a single ticker in to the platform.

Re: Symbol list question - for stocks
It appears with IB at least, you have to enter the tickers one by one and in the exact format. It's not just 'AAPL' and done. Format is: MSFT, USD Stock MSFT (NASDAQ), SMART, Stocks (not exactly quick and easy to type on the fly) I'm kind of surprised that in 2019 with version 12 of MC that this pro...
