[ericson]

I am trying to add HODL as an instrument, a swiss etf, but i keep getting invalid symbol from IB. I selected swx, eurosw, default as exchange. symbol is HODL. I tried adding |SWX to end of HODL, nope. Not sure what else to do...

What version of TWS/Gateway are you using?

Are you able to see real-time (not delayed) data for this instrument in TWS?

What is the exact error message you're receiving? Please quote it directly.

I couldn't find this instrument when searching in TWS for it. Can you tell me a bit more about it? From a TWS watch list, right-click on the instrument > Finanical Instrument Info > Description > Provide a screenshot of this window.

Iam not using IB data feed, but use it for orders, I am using another data feed. That was the problem, because the other data feed does not offer that instrument. I removed the symbol from the instrument data. Problem solved. Thanks!
