Brand new customer...searched for issue and did not see the same so I am writing to you to hopefully solve soon. I was sent a Chartbook and it will not open. I am live and can open up CLQ3 and add my studies, but when I open up the Chartbook, the charts are blank and I receive this message:

Basically the problem is the Chartbook you are using has symbols which are not compatible with the Trading service you are using. So you need to change the symbols of the charts in that Chartbook. The procedure for this is documented here:
