Post From: Pattern matching for automatic translation of IBKR symbols

Thank you. I think I was misunderstanding how the pattern matching behavior works. The high-level issue I'm trying to address is that I would like to automatically map all equity symbols to have the -STK-SMART-USD suffix so I can trade them. I would prefer not to have to set this manually any time I want to trade a new ticker that I haven't previously configured. Is there any way to do this? Essentially, I'm trying to do what I thought pattern matching accomplished based on this part of the documentation: "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." |
