== Symbol Mapping Importing & Exporting ==
Symbol mapping can be exported and imported with the broker profile connected or disconnected. It is saved on the hard drive as a file with '''.sm''' extension.
=== Exporting ===
Export of Symbol Mapping can be done if at least one line with mapped Chart Symbol and Broker Symbol is available.

<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note 1:''' If the current Symbol Mapping lines are identical to the ones containing in the imported files, a dialog box with the corresponding message will appear.</div>
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note 2:''' Import can be done '''ONLY''' into the Broker profile of the '''SAME BROKER''' (broker profile can be named differently though).
'''e.g.''', it is not possible to import Symbol Mapping of Interactive Brokers to CQG broker profile, but import can be executed from CQG broker profile to CQG broker profile, named, for example, CQG Demo.
<br>
Import can be executed to any MultiCharts product and bit of the version (32-bit to 64-bit and vice versa), in case the file format was not changed.
