1. when trading EUR-USD thru IB i need to set the symbol name to "EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO" this info doesn't appear anywhere on File >> Find Symbol EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO is listed under File >> Find Symbol, within the IB Forex (For Trading) section. You can also find the Symbol Formats documented here: Interactive Brokers Symbols 2. when invoking File >> Find Symbol at CQG feed (CQG WebAPI) i see the symbol name F.US.CLEN17 for the CL asset is F.US.CLEN17 the symbol name i should send from my Study toward the broker's server ? F.US.CLEN17 is the July 2017 Contact, if that is the contract that you want to trade, then yes this is the symbol that you would need to use. 3. are there any APIs thru which i can (a) understand whether i should rollover ? (b) excute rollover to the chart ? You would rollover before the contacts expire. Refer to the Rollover documentation here: Changing to a New Futures Contract Month Sierra Chart Support
