We are going over this little by little, but the presentation of information really is not clear.

It would be best to post the raw XML and bold the changes.

If you do that it would be much easier for us. This is the reason why this has been delayed. Also due to the length of it.

When does a symbol need the currency and currency multiplier added to the symbol name and when does it not?

Originally the currency code and contract multiplier were not specified but later on we begin to use these in order to avoid symbol resolution errors by Interactive Brokers.

So the older more popular symbols do not use these and we have preserved the original format unless it was critical to use these two additional specifications. You should always use the symbol as it is listed in File >> Find Symbol so Sierra Chart can find in the Symbol Settings for it.
