I would like to be able to trade Tesla, Apple and the QQQ. What are the symbol codes for these equities? I have looked in symbols but I am not able to identify these. Thank you. |

It depends on where you are getting your data and who you are trading with. Although the only broker that we work with that trades equities is Interactive Brokers. If you use Interactive Brokers for your trading, and if you are using the Interactive Brokers data, then you will need to use the Interactive Brokers symbols. Refer to the following: Interactive Brokers Symbols: Stock Format If you are using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed with the U.S. Equities exchange and trading with Interactive Brokers, then your primary symbol will be the standard ticker symbol (such as IBM), but you will need to use the Trade and Current Quote Symbol and enter the Interactive Brokers symbol for the Trade and Current Quote Symbol. If you are using the Denali Exchange Data Feed with the NASDAQ TotalView exchange and trading with Interactive Brokers, then your primary symbol will be the standard ticker symbol with the suffix of "-NQTV" (such as IBM-NQTV), but you will need to use the Trade and Current Quote Symbol and enter the Interactive Brokers symbol for the Trade and Current Quote Symbol. Refer to the following for information on Interactive Brokers: Interactive Brokers Trading Service Refer to the following for information on the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed And refer to the following for information on the Denali Exchange Data Feed: Denali Exchange Data Feed For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I would like to verify quickly, before going through all the work. I have recently started using SC, Denali data and interactive broker to trade nasdaq stocks. So far in order to trade off the chart I have to enter into global symbol settings, find the stock and manually type in the "trade symbol" for each individual symbol before SC sends the correct data to TWS. Is this the most efficient way to set up SC to trade various nasdaq stocks through IB? For someone who doesn't know the symbol they will be trading until they are trading it, seems like a hassle. Thank you for clarifying!

Yes, we agree it is a hassle, but it is the only option due to the complex symbols that IB uses. We can not possibly setup mappings for all the stocks that exist.
