How to view stock with period in symbol name?

[overflowing]

How do I view a stock with special characters in the symbol name such as period or dash? For example

How do I view PBR.A (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=PBR-A)?

When I try to enter either PBR.A or PBR-A into a chart or market analyzer I get an error message "Invalid instrument name"

Hello,

You will need to create the instrument using a master name which does not include these special characters. The characters should be set within the Symbol Map however.

NinjaTrader comes pre-loaded with the most commonly traded instruments however, you may find the need to add an additional instrument. Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
• Press the "New" button
• *Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (add Default exchange for equities in addition to the actual exchange)
• Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivity provider
• Press the "OK" button

The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.

• Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
• Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
• Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
• Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list

You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.
