I keep getting a message saying "Symbol Error - VXG23_FUT_CFE is unknown, unavailable, or improperly formatted..."
How can I fix it?

Thank you

First, please update your Symbol Settings to ensure there is not an issue with this. Refer to the following instructions:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Symbol Settings

Second, look through your charts and see if you have any open for the symbol VX?##-CFE. If you do have a chart (or multiple) that are using this symbol, then try opening a new chart for VXG23-CFE and let us know if this works for you. If it does, then just stick with this shorter format for the symbol.

The chart is on a Sub-Instance, but even updating the symbol settings from the main instance the problem is still there. The symbol is VXF23_FUT_CFE.
