Hello, I use Sierrachart v1953 64b, SC datafeed with connection to Interactive Brokers. I was trading the Micro Emini as "MES-201906-GLOBEX". It took me a number of days before I discovered that the symbol name had been changed to "MES-201906-GLOBEX-USD". I only noticed because of a VbP study issue & a commission value issue. Is there any way for me to catch a symbol name change sooner? Thanks, Chris |

Yes there was a change with the symbol and it is rare that a change would take place. It occurred in this particular case because this was a newly added symbol but the original one was not complete. There is no automatic way for you to be aware of this. We could have put out a technical notice about this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

As a result of this change the commission for the old symbol is always zero on the Trade Activity Log. Is there any way to manually change this given that the old symbol no longer exists ?? ie if I analyse my results in the TAL over the last two weeks they will be incorrect because of this zero commission |

You can manually edit the symbol in the Trade Activity Log entries: Trade Activity Log: Trade Activity Data Editing Menu Commands (Trade >> Trade Activity Log) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
