    Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

    But does anyone know the Interactive Brokers symbol for the S&P 500 index?

    Thank you

    SPX for the index, SPY for the ETF and ES for the e-mini futures. If you're not getting it with those symbols you are doing it wrong.

    Maybe you're not paying for the correct data feed.
