Symbol mapping #86

Open Trefex opened 2 weeks ago

Trefex commented 2 weeks ago

I think currently you take the first symbol we can find in Yahoo ?

Would it be possible to somehow specify the symbol to be used?

Eg in my case it used SPY5.L but I would have preferred SPY5.DE.

Many thanks T

Hi there!

The Security Service looks for the first match based on the currency that is related to the transaction. In most cases this works.

I have previously added a setting called DEGIRO_PREFERED_EXCHANGE_POSTFIX, which was added for DEGIRO but can also be used for other brokers. When you put .DE in this, it will try to take symbols that match that postfix. Is this something that could suit your needs?

I think it's not a good idea to maintain a list of specific symbols. This could open pandora's box and cause all kinds of other problems.

I am not sure, what I am sure is that for SPY5 it was slightly incorrect.

Eg SPY5.L is in USD but SPY5.DE is in EUR, even though the share class is in USD.

Maybe what I am saying doesn't make any sense
