Post From: IB Symbol Problems - MSFT, INTC, CSCO

Today is the second day these symbols are not available.

I used to just have (eg.) MSFT as the symbol, since the error I have tried MSFT-STK-SMART, MSFT-STK-SMART-USD, MSFT-STK-NASDAQ, MSFT-STK-NASDAQ-USD, still just errors.

Has anyone found a way around it? It's obviously not a SC issue (someone else using other API connectivity has the same issue)and I've put in a support ticket, still waiting.

Log sections for some of the attempts;
