All that is available exists in File >> Find Symbol in Sierra Chart. There is nothing else.

when invoking File >> Find Symbol at CQG feed (CQG WebAPI) i see the symbol name F.US.CLEN17 for the CL asset

is F.US.CLEN17 the symbol name i should send from my Study toward the broker's server ?

if not then where should i look to find the correct symbol name ?

are there any APIs thru which i can
(a) understand whether i should rollover ?
(b) excute rollover to the chart ?

1.

EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO is listed under File >> Find Symbol, within the IB Forex (For Trading) section.

You can also find the Symbol Formats documented here:
Interactive Brokers Symbols

F.US.CLEN17 is the July 2017 Contact, if that is the contract that you want to trade, then yes this is the symbol that you would need to use.

3.

(b) excute rollover to the chart ?

You would rollover before the contacts expire.

Refer to the Rollover documentation here:
