Using latest IB api and latest TWS. Since I went to 2074 every time I load a chart the orange box pops up - symbol not found. If I enter the stock symbol into the find symbol to open a new chart this does not happen. If I open a quote board every symbol I click on gives orange box and if I change symbol using chart settings gives box also. As far as I can tell only with stock symbols, I tried NISS-SP and that was OK. On the quote board the last price updated but the daily change is zero, on the chart both are correct.
