My broker is IB.
Can I add stock CFDs to the watch list. I tried, but it didnĀ“t work.
If I could add CFDs to the watch list, it would be very helpful.
It would be fine if you could make it possible in a later version of sierra chart.

There is no reason why this is not possible. You just add the symbol to the list.

What exactly is the problem you are having?

I add for example SPY-CFD-SMART-USD-BAAVG to the Watch List then you can see, written in Watch List Label:SPY-CFD-SMART-USD-BAAVG
When I click on Label:SPY-CFD-SMART-USD-BAAVG the chart doesn`t appear. I think that SC can`t`t find the symbol and therefore nothing happens.

Refer to the symbol format here:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: CFD Format

Remove the -BAAVG suffix.

Not sure how you added this symbol to the watchlist but it looks like you have added this as a Label. It should not be added that way. Add it just like a normal symbol.

I follwed your suggestion.
I removed the -BAAVG suffix.
I pushed the add button and then I typed SPY-CFD-SMART-USD, nothing happend. The only thing I can see is the information "Downloading Historical Data. Bars may not appear until done", but in the end nothing happens.

We think the problem is this:
It is important that when using this symbol format, that there are no other symbols being used within Sierra Chart at the same time for the same CFD symbol with the -BAAVG suffix. Otherwise, you will not receive market data for the symbol.

When using this symbol: SPY-CFD-SMART-USD make sure the -BAAVG is not being used and reconnect to the data feed.

I am using the symbol SPY-CFD-SMART-USD as you told me and it doesn`t work. I followed your instruction. I opened only one chartbook with one chart and not the same or any other symbol with the -BAAVG suffix was used.

Update Sierra Chart to the current release with Help >> Download Current Version.

Restart Sierra Chart and try opening a chart for that symbol again.
