== Why do I need symbol mapping? ==
# Your data source is not the same as your broker. For example, you plot IQFeed data and trade with Interactive Brokers broker profile. Data source symbols should be mapped to broker symbols.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': If the required symbol is not on the list, click '''Add Symbol''' to add it from data source.</div> Data source connection should be configured for your broker as well to add required symbols, even if you don't use it for data. Find connection guides [https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Category:Built-in_Data_Sources here].
# You trade continuous futures. Continuous contracts should be mapped to front-month contracts. For example, @ES should be mapped to ESZ2.
# You trade custom futures. Custom futures should be mapped to corresponding front-month contracts.
