IB Changing exchange names
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2022 2:35 pm
Just a heads up, received this e-mail from IB this morning. This will be potentially complicated for those that trade many markets. I am still unsure if I need to close everything then reopen new positions.

Please note that Interactive Brokers is completing an effort to update and consolidate exchange names where appropriate. When this effort is complete, the following updates will be in effect:
* GLOBEX and CMECRYPTO will be consolidated to a single exchange, ‘CME’
* ECBOT will be updated to ‘CBOT’
* COMEX listed metals (previously reflected as NYMEX) will be updated to exchange ‘COMEX’
* NYMEX, no change
Given the wide breadth of products involved, we are migrating in four waves based on underlying products:
Note: After each migration, GTC orders will be retained. These orders will show the updated exchange name but remain active.
