For futures, we keep a set of Symbol Settings that allows you to use the Interactive Brokers symbol and get the data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed.

Since there are so many stocks, this is not possible, so you need to keep the main symbol set to get the data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed by keeping the format of AAPL_MBO. If you are trading stocks with Interactive Brokers, then you need to enter the Interactive Brokers symbol for the stock in the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

You will also want to set the option for "Use as Trade Only Symbol" to "Yes". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Use as Trade Only Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)
