We have prepared this documentation on this subject:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/IBSymbols.html#MoreDetailedStockSymbolFormatAndSierraChartDataFeed

FYI, It's worthy to note that when a more detailed symbol is used, the Flatten and Flatten All buttons in Orders and Positions do not work for those symbols. However, Cancel and Cancel All open orders do work.
This makes no technical sense at all. What do you mean by does not work? There must be an order sent in response to these commands. Or an error message given in Trade >> Trade Service Log.



I'm finding that this occurs more for ETFs which are generally on the ARCA exchange. For instance, XOP and XBI required me to add the more detailed symbol.
We have set up symbol mapping for this pattern: ???-STK-SMART/ARCA

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalSymbolSettings.php#UpdateSettingsSteps

Example symbol that you can now use: XOP-STK-SMART/ARCA
