I'm trying to build a chart based on the BAAVG, however when I append the BAAVG to the end of the symbol, the bars on the chart are still based on the last traded price instead of tracking the current bid/ask average. I've searched everywhere for an answer and tried different combinations in the Symbol and Trade and Current Quote symbol boxes with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

If you are referring to the historical data in the chart, then this is explained here:

What is the symbol of the chart?

Yes, I was referring to the historical data. The symbol is NQ Nasdaq 100. I've added BAAVG to both the symbol box and trade and current quote symbol box and that seems to work. The link you provided mentions however that trading is not possible when using these suffixes? I've been able to place simulated trades using these suffixes with no problem. So I was curious to know if I will continue to be able to place trades when I switch to my live account?

For the futures contracts, that suffix is not going to have any effect on the downloaded historical data. Make sure you stay connected to the data feed as much as possible to minimize this limitation.

Do not use that suffix for the Trade and Current Quote Symbol.
