The futures symbol root on CME is USS, but the contract is USD. So for the September 08 contract the symbol is: USDU8. If you search for USS on CME in Quote manager, you will find all the contracts.

If you are looking for the index on the NYBOT, the symbol is DX. You will need to subscribe to the NYBOT feed through IB to get the data since this is not included in their free package.

If you don't know how to add a symbol to QM, check out the online tutorials which will provide you step by step instructions.
