I encountered the following problem: IB has different Symbols for Forex-Cash and Forex-CFDs. For currency trading the CFDs are used whereas Forex Cash is only used for currency conversions. However, in Sierra Chart i could only find the Forex-Cash Symbols for IB. These symbols are not suitable for trading. What's the correct format for the IB Forex-CFDs and could you provide them in Sierra Chart instead of the useless Cash symbols?
