We apologize for the long delay. We looked at the code and see how the solution was implemented to this.

Once you submit an order for a symbol used as the Trade symbol for a Chart or Trade DOM, at that time the security definition data from CQG is requested. If you resubmit the the same order in about 2 to 5 seconds seconds later, it will go through.

One thing we want to make clear is the way that the CQG Web API is designed in regards to having to obtain a numeric identifier for a symbol which varies from connection to connection, is a design that Sierra Chart very strongly disagrees with. It is a very poor design, and it is a mistake, to transfer this responsibility to the client program where a mistake can be made and can lead to serious consequences.

This is something we have made clear in the documentation:
Sierra Chart Does not Support External Service API Components: Recommended Protocol

And that is not just CQG specific. We have seen this with other services like CTS, Transact, Tele-trader, CQG. None of which we support any longer other than CQG. There is also a similar issue we have seen with order IDs with the OEC API.
