I'm new with Sierra Chart and I haven't found this information. I'm using Sierra Chart Real-Time and Historical Exchange Data Feed and having trading account in Interactive Brokers.
I followed this instructions how to setup SC tool: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Integration with Trading Services

I followed this procedure and I can see "M" with symbol. What I don't understand is:

If I'm connected to Interactive Brokers trading (Data/Trade Service Settings) then I'm searching for symbol e.g. ES - Globex - data from IB.
If I'm connected to SC Data - all services - and Find symbol I get your data what I want.

How I can trade to use SC Data? I don't understand. If I switch to IB trading service back and Find symbol - still i'm getting only Globex data from IB - it's not SC data.

Can you help me to set it up? Internal mapping of the symbols have not happened.

You need to make sure Sierra Chart is connected to your Live Interactive Brokers account.

And then you need to use the symbols in File >> Find Symbol while connected to Interactive Brokers. The market data will come from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and trading orders will be sent to Interactive Brokers.

Do not use SC Data - All Services.

The data is coming from the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. That is clear.

The problem is the chart is not a continuous futures contract chart and it needs to be. Refer to:
