There is not support in Sierra Chart for the day number of a month in a symbol. Only contract year and month. You will have to manually specify this.

So this format cannot be supported. This is something, that we are not going to be adding support for. It does not affect other Trading services like this.

But certainly you can manually specify the symbol. That is not an issue at all. But the auto generation of a symbol, is not going to be supported. Symbols which use year and month only, can be automatically generated. That is how they work now.

But why not just add the currency as it says:
'The contract description specified for NG is ambiguous: you must specify the currency'.

Here is the complete futures format:
