I only found reference for [M] under the Denali Section showing the quote is connected to the Denali Feed. I also have [C], [CB], some have [C][M] is there a page or legend somewhere I can reference what these mean?

Thanks!

Thank you! That all makes sense now. Except why [M] equals Denali (maybe M for Mountain?)...

The Meaning of the [M] Designation after a Symbol

On the title bar of the chart, in the Region Data Line and other places where a Symbol is displayed, the Symbol may have a [M] designation after it.

This means that Symbol is remapped to an alternate data feed and not the primary data feed Sierra Chart is connected to. Sierra Chart supports multiple data feeds with separate connections. The letter M is from the word map.

When using a sub instance of Sierra Chart through File >> New Instance, all data originates from the main instance of Sierra Chart. So in no case will you see the [M] indicator on the chart after the symbol. This is completely normal. It is just enough that you see it in the main instance of Sierra Chart for the symbol.
