Hello

I have a chartbook with symbols like ES, NQ, CL... In addition to that, I also have two charts with symbols from Hong Kong Futures Exchange(HKFE) namely HSI & MHI.

When I switch from SierraChart(SC) to Interactive Brokers(IB), all the futures symbols get translated into IB format successfully except those two from HKFE which remain in SC format.

I tried Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service, however, it doesn't work.

Here's the details of symbols in question:

HSI-202202-HKFE (IB) / HSIG22-HKFE (Sierra Chart)
MHI-202202-HKFE (IB) / MHIG22-HKFE (Sierra Chart)

Is it possible to set these symbols up for auto translation when switching services?

Many thanks
