The problem I have found is that you have to have the stock in the format (using GSK as an example) GSK|LSE to get it to work with Interactive brokers. However if you try to import via the usual means of utilities > import stock symbol list, then it comes up with an error if you use the ending |LSE. Thus the only way I've found is to go into instrument editor and change the interactive broker symbol map manually.
Obviously this isn't going to be time effective if I want to import a load in at once, so is there another way to do it that I am missing?
thanks
