I am trying to set up my global symbol settings so that any symbol ending with "-NQTV" will automatically have a trade only symbol of "-STK-SMART-USD" for use with Interactive Brokers. I am looking at this line from Global Symbol Settings as reference: "This is also useful for stock symbol patterns in the case of Interactive Brokers. For example, for the symbol pattern -NQTV you can set Trade/Quote Symbol to -STK-SMART-USD." It seems like the simplest way to do this would be to modify the existing ????-NQTV entry to have ????-STK-SMART-USD as the trade/quote symbol, but that's not working. I am switching symbols after each change to ensure it's reloading the settings. I then tried duplicating the ????-NQTV entry above and changing "?" to "*" in all field but that didn't work either. "Use Pattern Matching" is enabled for the symbol I am experimenting with, MSFT.
