TDAmeritrade (TOS) forex order placement - symbol unknown?

When placing a forex chart order to TDAmeritrade (TOS), I receive the following message:
"Order Error - TDA order update. Please enter a valid stock symbol"
My data connection to TDA seems to be fine. I am wondering if this is just because of the spelling in the order, e.g. "EURUSD", while perhaps TDA is expecting to see "EUR/USD"?
Or is there some other explanation?
Thanks
