Incorrect IB symbol settings or symbol mapping settings might get saved in the IB symbol cache.
In that case, re-configuring symbol mapping as suggested in the Expired cache for symbol X. Remove and re-add the symbol mapping for this symbol message might not help.
Here’s how to clear the IB cache to resolve it:
- Close all the charts with the problematic symbols.
- Re-add the problematic symbols in QuoteManager → Instrument → Add Symbol → From Data Source.
- Go to File → Broker Profiles → Symbol Mapping → select to Show mapped symbols for Interactive Brokers → select the symbol mapping lines with problematic symbols and click Remove.
- Go to the main MultiCharts window → Help → Support → Open Logs Folder.
- Close all the MultiCharts apps and make sure there are no MC processes left in Task Manager → Details tab → Description column.
- Delete DAT files starting with IB in the Logs folder (see step 4).
- Open MultiCharts and set up symbol mapping for the required symbols.
