To update: Tried the 2645 prerelease version > problem remains. It is only the MES contract; I haven't had any problems with other contracts. I trade MES and wanted to use analysis on SierraCharts (using SC DATA) on symbol MESM24-CME 90% of the time without firing up IB. Then, on a day I want to trade, I fire up IB, connect to IB [trading] with all my chart settings, then close IBRK when not trading and go back to pure and simple SierraCharts with SC DATA. I can't do this, as the symbol doesn't translate back once it's converted to work with IB. I appreciate it's likely another IB symbol problem with no promise of a fix, but might it eventually get fixed? Should I start to plan workflow for a workaround? For example, could I run two separate installs/instances: one strictly for SCDATA and one strictly for IB [trading]? Then, could I copy all chart settings from MESM24-CME on the SCDATA install to MES-202406-CME-USD on the IB install?
