I understood that I have to manually insert the IB syntax into field
"Trade and current Quote Symbol" e.g. EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO so that
an order can be sent to TWS while using SC Forex feed on EURUSD.

This is very cumbersome for someone who actively trades several forex
pairs and switches between the pairs regularyly. As a programmer myself
I understand that you have to find a way to match the TWS syntax. But
what I do not understand is why the syntax is not strored once entered
with a reference (pointer) to the corresponding SC feed symbol, so that
one do not have to enter it everytime I chance the symbol.

Example for such a table:

SC-Symbol TWS-Symbol
EURUSD EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO
EURCAD EUR.CAD-CASH-IDEALPRO
EURJPY EUR.JPY-CASH-IDEALPRO


Implemented as a reference table that is loaded when SC starts.

Just a suggestion to make life easier for the user :-) ....
