Settings or Order Settings
Description
Specifies how a symbol class suffix (e.g. the .B in BRK.B) is written in generated order symbols
Choices
Space - (default) replace the dot with a space ("BRK B"), the Interactive Brokers convention
Dot - leave the symbol unchanged ("BRK.B")
Dash - replace the dot with a dash ("BRK-B")
Slash - replace the dot with a slash ("BRK/B"), the Schwab/Fidelity convention
None - remove the dot ("BRKB")
Notes
This setting applies only when the symbol's ExchangeMap row was matched by exchange name. When the row was matched by a dot wildcard pattern such as *.AU, the suffix is a country identifier rather than a symbol class, and it is removed from the order symbol as always (e.g. BHP.AU becomes BHP) regardless of this setting.
Since RealTest symbols cannot contain spaces, the default class suffix conversion is also the way to produce order symbols with embedded spaces. For example, with a Helsinki stock whose broker symbol is "NDA FI", an IncludeList alias of NDA.FI causes the order symbol "NDA FI" to be emitted when the symbol's exchange row matches by name.
Example
Writes class-share symbols in the Schwab/Fidelity convention, e.g. BRK/B.
