So the problem is originating here:

</settings>

Since this symbol was duped from ICE Brent (as ICE Gasoil is non-existant in the default list) it inherited the underlying sc-data-symbol value. The problem is there is *no* way to change this from the UI other than quitting SC, hacking the XML file with an editor, and restarting SC.

That seems like a problem to me.

EDIT: Upon updating data from server, this overwrites the data-symbol again with the wrong symbol.
