Hi Roman, Can you direct me to where you find that instrument on the IB website? I am seeing EURUSD as a Forex pair only, not in the format you suggest EUR.USD.cfd |

Hi Roman, The symbol (EUR.USD) suggests that you are referring to this "Forex" instrument; can you take a look here: https://misc.interactivebrokers.com/cstools/contract_info/v3.10/index.php?action=Details&site=GEN&conid=12087792 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-09-19 14:50:54

Hi, Is possible to make change for SierraProgram for make orders to forex CFD? Here is description from InteractiveBrokers: I cannot chart CFDs from my third party program yet the TWS shows the data correctly. Except for Index CFDs, CFDs do not have any market data of their own. What the TWS displays is the CFD's underlying contract's data. Whenever you try to fetch non-Index CFD data from the TWS, you will obtain an error message asking you to pull it's underlying contract's data instead. Some third party programs' user interface only allow placing orders via their charts. Given that no data can be loaded for these products and the impossibility of the third party program to apply a similar conversion as the TWS, you might find your third party software not able to place orders as a consequence! https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/third_party.html#tp_cfd_charting Thanks. R. |

If possible for stocks, I believe you can do that for forex as well. Probably the mechanism will be the same. It would help me a lot because executing SierraChart executions is really quick and extraordinary. |

Hello, To trade EURUSD CFD with a nice chart you could use the following parameters : Symbol : EURUSD (from IB - Forex) Trade and current quote symbol : EUR-CFD-SMART-USD Hope this helps. Regards, JM |

You need to create the symbol. Here are 4 screenshots for General Historical Addition and Additional2. Put whatever you want for Intraday, and nothing in Rollover. |
