I can confirm this specific issue. For equities at least, but not ETFs, there is an 'n' at the end of the symbol. Yet, sending order only works when one uses the <symbol>-CFD-SMART-USD format without the 'n', but IB will still report the fills with the additional letter. Using the "Use Order Fill Calculated Positions" option helps make sure that positions are tracked at least. However, orders executed directly via TWS are not being counted towards the position quantity. Furthermore, it seems that with this setup the feature for automatically moving stop orders to breakeven does not trigger.
