It seems like the simplest way to do this would be to modify the existing ????-NQTV entry to have ????-STK-SMART-USD as the trade/quote symbol, but that's not working. I am switching symbols after each change to ensure it's reloading the settings. This is the correct thing to do. Make sure the option at the top of the Symbol Settings window for "Use Custom Symbol Settings Values" is enabled (has a checkmark next to it), otherwise nothing you change in the Symbol Settings will apply. Refer to the following: Global Symbol Settings: Use Custom Symbol Settings Values (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings) Also, check your setting for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading >> Clear Trade and Current Quote Symbol on Symbol Change". This needs to be set to "No", otherwise your Trade and Current Quote Symbol will be cleared instead of changing to the desired symbol. One other note, you need to make the change to all of the -NQTV symbols, so make sure you update ?-NQTV, ??-NQTV, etc. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
