I'm assuming SC doesn't have a built-in way to do this so I created a custom study. It took me 5 minutes and it is something I may use myself in the future when trading equities. It only translates SC symbols that end in -NQTV so it won't modify your non-equity trade symbols.

You can either take the source code below, copy it to a file ending in .cpp, and compile the code into a study yourself yourself following the rather involved instructions here: How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code: Step-By-Step Instructions

OR you can download the attached file and copy it your SC's data folder following the simpler instructions here: How to Use an Advanced Custom Study or a Study Collection: Manually Installing Advanced Custom Study Related Files


#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("Gilbert's Custom Studies")

SCSFExport scsf_ConvertNQTVSymbolToIBTradeSymbol(SCStudyGraphRef sc)
{
if(sc.SetDefaults)
{
sc.GraphName = "Convert Symbol: NQTV -> IB Trade";
sc.GraphRegion = 0;

sc.AutoLoop = 1;
}


SCString nqtv_str;
nqtv_str.Format("-NQTV");

SCString ib_trade_symbol;

if (sc.Symbol.Right(5) == nqtv_str)
{
ib_trade_symbol.Format("%s-STK-SMART-USD", sc.Symbol.Left(-5).GetChars());
}

if (sc.TradeAndCurrentQuoteSymbol != ib_trade_symbol)
{
sc.TradeAndCurrentQuoteSymbol = ib_trade_symbol;
sc.AddMessageToLog("Switched trade symbol from NQTV to IB.", 0);
}
}
