Hi,

this days RIMM is renamed in BBRY.

Currently my strategy has an open trade since last friday in RIMM.
Is there a way to achieve correct signals and move open position to BBRY?

How to handle that in backtest? Is the trade cancelled today, it seems that there is no
more data for RIMM.

Thx

If your data provider is supported by the Data Tool, you're lucky: from its right click menu, choose "Change symbol".

It works as expected, thank you.
