That's what's so strange. It clearly works for the "????" format but not "????-NQTV". I deleted my custom symbol settings in the SymbolSettings folder to make sure there weren't any conflicts. The "****" experimental pattern is gone, but it's still not working. I did discover that GOOG-NQTV is one symbol that works correctly with the ????-NQTV-TEST format, and I noticed that it's not in the symbol list in the Global Settings >> Symbol Settings window. GOOGL-NQTV is there, but not GOOG-NQTV. I also noticed that if I enter a fake symbol that isn't found in the Symbol Setting list, such as ZZZZ-NQTV, the trade/quote symbol in the Chart Settings window is updated correctly to ZZZZ-NQTV-TEST (but obviously no data is loaded). Also, I can set up the ????+-NQTV pattern with ????+-NQTV-TEST and MSFT+-NQTV updates to MSFT+-NQTV-TEST as expected in the Chart Settings window. So it seems that if a symbol has an exact match in the Symbol Settings list, the pattern matching doesn't apply?
