It depends on where you are getting your data and who you are trading with.

Although the only broker that we work with that trades equities is Interactive Brokers.

If you use Interactive Brokers for your trading, and if you are using the Interactive Brokers data, then you will need to use the Interactive Brokers symbols. Refer to the following:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: Stock Format

If you are using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed with the U.S. Equities exchange and trading with Interactive Brokers, then your primary symbol will be the standard ticker symbol (such as IBM), but you will need to use the Trade and Current Quote Symbol and enter the Interactive Brokers symbol for the Trade and Current Quote Symbol.

If you are using the Denali Exchange Data Feed with the NASDAQ TotalView exchange and trading with Interactive Brokers, then your primary symbol will be the standard ticker symbol with the suffix of "-NQTV" (such as IBM-NQTV), but you will need to use the Trade and Current Quote Symbol and enter the Interactive Brokers symbol for the Trade and Current Quote Symbol.

Refer to the following for information on Interactive Brokers:
