I have manged to create a DOM using the custom symbol. The correct price and scales are applied although I know that this is not meant for historical charting and one should use the Difference bar study.

It would seem that orders are correctly handled although I have no real idea as I am using the IB live feed for testing in the sim environment.

Is this a good solution ? Can I trade off these DOMs created from a custom symbol?

TIP for others!! Make sure you use the complete symbol notation including contract month and issue for futures otherwise custom symbols will not work. For example Bobl is;
GBM-201912-DTB and Gold would be GC-201912-GLOBEX.

SO a something like this will work 3*{GBM-201912-DTB}-2*{GC-201912-GLOBEX} for a futures spread between Bobl and Gold
