In this thread from a year ago, Sierra support asked for help getting the Interactive Brokers symbol for bitcoin futures. Someone replied with "BRR" and that was the symbol Sierra added to the database. But BRR is the Bitcoin Reference Rate. It is the index CME uses to price their futures product. The actual futures contract symbol is BTC. Could you please add that to your symbol list?

This is the new symbol:
BRR-######-CMECRYPTO-USD-5

There is no BTC symbol that we can see on the IB system. So we just needed to change the exchange.
