Post From: Interactive Brokers TWS feed

You do not want to remove the . character. If that is what is required you need to keep that. When we set up Symbol Settings that is just to eliminate the message that symbol settings are not found.

There is no dependency to access market data from TWS or two trade through TWS upon Symbol Settings in Sierra Chart. This is only a convenience feature to set things like the tick size and price display format. This is all.

It also has a secondary purpose for remapping to an alternative data feed but that is not needed in this case.

It does work for US stocks but there is no Intraday data available.
We have withdrawn the Sierra Chart provided Intraday data on service package 3. You need to use service package 5:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Using Sierra Chart Historical Data

Are you aware that when the Interactive Brokers feed is enabled it conflicts with the data (DTC- Sub-Instance) in any sub-instances that are running? It breaks the Daily bar on FX Indexes, etc... If you disable the IB feed the daily bars are then ok.
It sounds like you might have a port conflict:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance: Resolving DTC Protocol Server Port Number Conflicts

Otherwise, we are not understanding this and we need further details of what specifically you are doing.
