Using template you will see that the @{} is replaced "just as is" from the
data (for example from a spreadsheet), so
if you have a value in the example will be replaced as text in the rule and
you will have something like this:

if @{symbol} == "THE_SYMBOL"

==>

rule "A stand alone rule THE_SYMBOL"
dialect "mvel"
when
 eval(THE_SYMBOL == "AAA")
then
System.out.println("this symbol is" + THE_SYMBOL)
end
----------

So as you can see, the variable is no more a variable in the generated rule,
just text, so if you wanna use it as a string, you should add double-quote
(")

your rule template should be something like this:

rule "A stand alone rule @{symbol}"
dialect "mvel"
when
 eval("@{symbol}" == "AAA")
then
System.out.println("this symbol is" + "@{symbol}")
end
