Should there be a USD at the end of the symbols? Which format is correct?

We have done Update Symbol settings, and also Translate Symbols, we have live orders working in TWS not showing up in Sierrachart though the positions are showing.

you need to ask Interactive Brokers what they need for the symbol.

The symbols to use are what are listed in File >> Find Symbol. Do not use any other symbol. The USD is not necessary for those symbols unless there is a security definition error from TWS.

If you do not see a particular symbol listed, let us know which one and we will make sure it is there.

Have selected symbol using Find Symbol, using this currently these symbols show up for live positions:
ZL-202407-CBOT
ZM-202407-CBOT
XINA50-202406-SGX-USD-1

Pulling up the chart using these, working orders are shown on the chart for XINA50, but ZL and ZM show the position in the Trade Window, but not working orders.

In the Trade Orders Window shows all the working orders with the -USD at the end of the symbols.

Is there any risk that working orders entered or modified through Sierracharts using these will not execute?

Also if working orders are filled while Sierrachart is not running, do the live fills at IB still get downloaded by Sierrachart?
On SOFR3-202412-CME-USD , can see the fill executed in Sierrachart, but not the one executed when Sierrachart was not running.

Did you submit orders from Sierra Chart for these symbols but with USD at the end:
ZL-202407-CBOT
ZM-202407-CBOT

In the Trade Orders Window shows all the working orders with the -USD at the end of the symbols.
