Hi I am trying to trade the micro MGCQ21 but when i place my trade I get the following error:

"Trading Evaluator order update (Order reject). Info: Symbol is unknown for trading. Internal Order ID: 81. Service Order ID: (none). Symbol: MGCQ21-COMEX *"

Can you please advise. Ive been told my a friend that i need to "adjust the micro symbol to get the correct one" but i dont know which function exactly I need to choose.

Thanks

The correct symbol is: MGCQ21.

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

After that, use this menu command:
Edit Menu: Edit >> Translate Symbols To Current Service
