Could you provide guidance on how to specify the symbol to trade AUD.USD CFD via IB from the SC charts?

None of these worked:
AUD.USD-CFD-SMART
AUD.USD-CFD-SMART-USD
AUDUSD-CFD-SMART
AUDUSD-CFD-SMART -USD

Also, how to size it via the trade window... is it actual currency value, or lot size, or contract size?

Thanks

It's a simple question... what is the symbol structure to trade forex CFD?
Following the exact description of your site doesn't work:
AUD.USD-CFD-SMART
AUD.USD-CFD-SMART-USD

Please don't tell me how shitty IB is... I already have heard that a million times.

You have got to be kidding us. You need to ask Interactive Brokers how their system works. If you read the Symbols page we linked to, everything is clearly explained, how the symbol you enter in Sierra Chart matches up to the different contract components. You are in full control.

Do not waste our time on this.

There is no way we are going to know the answer to this.
