Yes, this is correct.

With regards to the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol", however, you can change the symbol settings to enter a placeholder "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" that can use wildcards. This would make it so any time you open a stock symbol, the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" will be filled out as you need it for Interactive Brokers.

To give you an example, for MSFT, you would need to edit the symbol settings for '????' (4 question marks representing the 4 characters in MSFT). Within the symbol settings for ????, you would edit the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" and enter the following:
????-STK-SMART/NASDAQ

When you open a chart for MSFT, the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" will then be filled in as "MSFT-STK-SMART/NASDAQ".

You would want to do this change for symbols like "?", "??", "???", "????", and "?????".
