f you enter the order with the Trade and Current Quote Symbol as "QQQ-CFD-SMART-USD" and the order is showing properly in that instance of Sierra Chart, then this implies that Interactive Brokers is returning the information for the symbol as it was sent to Interactive Brokers. If Interactive Brokers was returning information for the symbol "QQQn-CFD-SMART-USD", then you would not have the order showing properly in Sierra Chart. Therefore, there is some oddity within Interactive Brokers as to why it would be sending information to another Sierra Chart instance with a different symbol. This is not something we can help with. There is nothing built into Sierra Chart to deal with this. And it is very odd on the part of Interactive Brokers and not something they should be doing.
