I am using edemo with IB.

I can connect just fine.
I have chart open with EURUSD and I chart being updated real time.

I then place a market order from the chart.

I get a message that symbol is not found. The order appears on the chart and remains in the "Sent" state.

In the message log, I have:
Symbol Error - EURUSD is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. No security definition has been found for the request | 2015-10-29 08:14:29



Any ideas?

EURUSD is not a valid IB Symbol for Trading, you will need to use EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO

Refer to the IB Symbols page here:

When you are using Symbols like EURUSD, you are actually getting data from the Sierra Chart Real Time and Historical Forex and CFD Data Service and not from IB:
