When I check the Instrument Manager after having entered the symbol in the chart window it shows 'Default' as the only exchange and if you try to check 'OK' it gives an error stating that you have to assign another exchange in addition to "Default' (you must hit 'Cancel' to get out of the window).
If I enter a brand new ticker symbol in the Market Analyzer first it will assign the following exchanges: Arca, BTrade, Default, Ise, & Island in the Instrument Manager and the new ticker symbol will work fine.
Get this: After I enter the new ticker symbol through the chart window, deleting and re-entering the symbol from the Instrument Manager or the Market Analyzer does not work. And entering those above exchanges does not work. I must disconnect and reconnect from the data provider (IB in my case) for either fix to work.
This bug it is driving me crazy. It's just natural from me to enter new stock symbols directly in the chart window, and when I forget, I have to disconnect/reconnect to IB which is a major pain.
