Symbol with a dash

[mdwin01]

Hi-

Is there a solution (ready or planned) when trying to submit symbols with a dash via IBController?

In my case I have FI-N in Switzerland, and
ibc.PlaceOrder("FI-N-SMART-STK-CHF" )
will fail as everything gets shifted by one position as only 3 dashes are expected in SYMBOL-EXCHANGE-TYPE-CURRENCY. I'm using the latest Amibroker 6.30.5 and IBController 1.3.8

In this locked thread Tomasz says

This will require IB plugin update - IF YOU BUY the software - you will receive updated plugin.

Yes there is a new plugin 2.0.11 and IBController 1.3.9. Contact support from registered email address and you will receive it.

UPDATE: you can get the plugin directly from:

Chart not updating in real time for NIFTY index (India only) from IB

You can try new plugin version that should fix the problem from https://www.amibroker.com/bin/ib211/IB.dll (32 bit) https://www.amibroker.com/bin/ib211x64/IB.dll (64 bit) (Make sure to download correct version depending on what AmiBroker you have (check in Help->About whenever it is 32 bit or 64 bit, then replace existing "IB.dll" file that is present in "Plugins" subfolder under AmiBroker directory) Then in AmiBroker open Tools->Plugins and you should see version 2.11.0 if it was properly…

Are there any other changes in the new IB plugin and IBController that are worthy to note? I haven't seen any documentation or mention of these other than this post.

Both plugin and IBController are working perfectly fine. The change mentioned here is solely for those rare symbols with dash. If you don't use them, then there is no difference.

Perfect, that's what I needed to hear. I'll keep using the versions I'm on. Thanks!
