Can you make the following CFD symbols available under the list
of available symbols:

http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/1984

in particular IBEU50

There ist some confusion:

When I select e.g. USOIL, the data is loaded into the chart and I see [CB][M], if I send an order to IB from the chart it will not available in TWS (error in Trade Service Log) and the data is loaded very fast.

When I select e.g. IBDE30-CFD-SMART-EUR-BAAVG the data is loaded into the chart and I see [CB], if I send an order to IB from the chart it is available in TWS and the data is loaded very slow.

When I select e.g. IBUST100-CFD-SMART-EUR-BAAVG the data is loaded into the chart and I see in some charts [CB] and in other no symbols in brackets, if I send an order to IB from the chart it is available in TWS and the data is loaded very slow.

Is it possible to make things available, so that for the CFDs in the list attached I can used the SC datafeed and send orders to IB from the charts.

Please also inform me how I can trade Crude Oil CFD with IB from the chart.

Thanks a lot !

IBEU50 has been added as a CFD symbol.

[CB] is an indicator for Continuous Futures Contract charts:

You should not be using this option on non-futures charts.

Also, the symbols in File >> Find Symbol >> CFD are not Interactive Brokers symbols and cannot be traded. They are for charting only.

You just need to use the Interactive Brokers CFD symbol for this.
