I want to trade XAUUSD and XAGUSD with IB and simply pick these symbols from CFD category. However, when I place order, I got the error message below. Could u provide the correct symbol format for the spot Gold/Silver for IB trading service?

Symbol Error - (unknown symbol with ID 304) is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted. No security definition has been found for the request | 2018-04-20 14:47:15
