Hello,
I have the CL, but I have stored the MCL so that orders are executed there. Several times now, I have started Sierra Chart and, out of nowhere, the stored MCL has changed to F.US.MCL, which is a symbol that comes from the Denali data feed as far as I know, but does not work with third-party capital providers and disconnects everything when I place an order.
Why does the symbol change on its own?

We assume you are referring to the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol".

F.US.MCL?## is the CQG symbol format. Are you changing your service to CQG at any time?

Are you running any custom studies that could be changing the symbol?

The only other possibility we can think of, is that you may have changed the symbol settings for CL such that you added a "Trade/Quote Symbol" and you entered it in that format. We admit, it does not make sense, but it's one of the few reasons why that item would change. Please check this as well.
