Post From: Symbol Formatting for CFDs in IB

Just trying to understand if there is any association between the two fields. If I change the field for trading to a cfd product, then does the field for symbol also have to be changed to reflect data for the cfd product?

I contacted IB regarding the formatting. According to their latest API v 972/C++, the format would be symbol-cfd-currency-exchange. I have no idea how SC has mapped this, but only know when I try to trade live with the format proposed by SC, then nothing happens on IBs TWS. I am looking for a solution, so I can keep using SC since many things are changing in regards to regulations in various regions. I would appreciate your help as always!
