I am using IB to trade HK CBBCs product with trading vendor IB. For example, 58404-IOPT-SEHK-HKD. It is a valid symbol for the SC version 1762 but become invalid for the most uptodate version. Pls advise how I change the symbol code for the new version of SC.

CBBCs product is the structure product of HK stock. IOPT is the security type shown in IB product description. It is similar with STK, OPT etc. Pls refer to the detail product description from IB with the link attached.

In version 1925 support will be added for IOPT security types. But the format must follow what is documented here:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: Options Format

Sierra Chart must have standardized ways in which options are handled and this is going to be the only supported format.

You must change the symbols to match when using this version or higher. There are no exceptions to this.

Thank you for the support. Besides IOPT, I will also trade warrants with the security type WAR. Do the symbol format is simply to replace IOPT with WAR?

We need to add support for warrants as well. We will do that.
