Hi,

Is there a way to chart (and eventually to trade) structured products on IB via SC?
For example knock-out certificates on the DAX, or certificates on the MDAX?

And what would the SC symbol code be?

The symbol on TWS looks like this:
MDAX Structured Dec30'99 10383,791 CALL (DBCM, 0.001, Kein Nachlass) @SWB

Thank you!

Yes, as long as the security can be specified as one single Contract unit.

What is the security type?

For example, let's take:

Knock-Out Certificate on German DAX-Index
ISIN: DE000XM10UL6
WKN: XM10UL
IB Symbol: XM10UL
Exchange: SWB
Details: http://www.ariva.de/XM10UL

If I can add "DE000XM10UL6" on IB's TWS, I get the current quote for the certificate, can trade it,... I also have market data permissions.

But I don't know how to add it to SC. I tried
XM10UL
XM10UL-STK-SWB
XM10UL-STK-SWB-EUR
XM10UL-SWB-EUR
and so on. But SC never found it ("IB error Code 366... symbol error.... unknow, unavailable or improperly formatted").

Do you know how to forma it?
Thanks :)

Every security with IB has a Security Type. Contact IB and find out what it is for this.

Once you know that, refer to the information on this page:

Does someone by now know the IB symbol code for „structured products“ and can post it in this thread?

Otherwise I will proceed by asking IB directly.

Thanks in advance.
