I use Denali for just about everything I do but thinking of trying Crypto through IB. However for the life of me can't figure out their symbol format and was wondering if anyone can tell me what it is.

Thanks

If you go to File -> Find Symbol in Sierra Chart window, that might be easier.
I am trading MES, took me a few weeks to memorize IB's MES symbol which is "MES-yyyymm-GLOBEX-USD"
21 characters.

Thanks Tony but I did try that but came up empty. I like a lot of things that IB has to offer but absolutely hate their data. Anyhow I'll keep digging, thanks again.
