How-to-get-BRK-B-stock-data-from-Interactive-Brokers

It was my intention to have the IB extension automatically interpret A/B shares using the dot separator, but that doesn't seem to work at the moment. In that case, the easiest way to make it work is:

1. Click File > Open Wealth-Lab User Data folder.
2. Close Wealth-Lab
3. In the data folder, open IBContracts.txt, add this record to it and save it:

CODE:
BRK.B=BRK B|USD|STK|SMART|NYSE|BRK B|||0|

Now the IB Provider will recognize BRK.B as the "BRK B" contract.

Alternatively, you could use the Symbol mapping BKR.B=BRK B in 3 places - Historical, Streaming and Broker mappings.

You can also wait for IB build 68 - I think Glitch is planning a set of release today or tomorrow. That one will recognize A/B shares like BRK.B and automatically map it to BRK B.

In any case, adding the record to IBContracts.txt won't hurt either.

Thanks it works now !
