Hello again! Related to the last question and removing and keeping certain buttons (like the area for the stock symbol and name):

When I've selected Window -> Hide Buttons, I know that I'm still able to left click once on the chart (just to set my screen focus), type in whatever symbol name I want, press [ENTER], and it loads that symbol. But I'm having problems with symbols that have non-alphanumeric characters. Specifically, dashes and equals signs. They are converted into some very odd characters which won't exist in the symbol database. If I type in "ES=F" (E-Mini S&P 500 Futures), it is converted into something like "ES>>F". "BTC-USD" is converted into something like "BTC1/2USD".

SCREENSHOTS (for ES=F and BTC-USD):
==============================

I'm running Windows with standard US/English settings and a standard US keyboard. Is this a bug? Or something that I can work around?

UPDATE:
I noticed one more character that had an issue. Typing in a Yahoo index name like "^RUT" is converted into "6RUT (as if I wasn't holding down the shift key).

Thanks,
Josh McCormick

Yes, some special characters are not supported now. You need to type them directly.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
