Ticker symbol
The exchange abbreviation of a security, for example SAP.DE or AAPL.
A ticker symbol is the abbreviation under which a security is listed on an exchange. US shares usually have short letter codes like AAPL (Apple). DipCatcher adds a suffix for European exchanges: ".DE" for Xetra, ".L" for London.
The same share can have different tickers on different exchanges, so the ISIN is the safer choice when buying at your broker.
