Hello SC Support,

I am trying to open a chart and a DOM for this symbol but I just get the following message:

“Symbol Error: Unknown symbol with ID 100036 is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted.”

My data feed for stocks is from IB.

The symbol I need to open a chart is EOA (The company is E.ON, from Germany).

The exchange I use for this symbol is CHIXDE.

So, I open a chart then follow the instructions provided in this link (http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/IBSymbols.html#Stock) and insert the following symbol:

EOA-STK-CHIXDE

When I click apply I just get that mentioned message and I can’t figure out why.

The symbol is working perfectly with TWS and Ninja Trader (with NT the symbol is EOA|CHIXDE).

Could you please give me some instructions?

Thanks in advance.

Use EOA-STK-SMART-EUR

Also try this one:

EOA-STK-IBIS-EUR

Thank you for your reply.

I can't use the SMART or IBIS routing because I am not subscribed to other European exchanges that not CHI-X exchange (CHIXDE for Germany DAX30, CHIXEN for France CAC40, etc.)

So, as I have to rout my orders and feed through this exchange I tried EOA-STK-CHIXDE-EUR but the result is the same, it doesn't work.

As I mentioned in my first post I had to change it to EOA|CHIXDE to get it to work with Ninja Trader and it is working fine.


But now that I'm abandoning NT I need to have stocks working with SC as well.

Anyway, I just found out that the same is happening with US stocks too through SMART routing. The charts simply don't load.

Any other suggestions, please?
