==Exporting Symbol Mapping==
Symbol mapping can be exported and imported with the broker profile connected or disconnected. It is saved to the hard drive as a file with '''.sm''' extension in a binary format and cannot be viewed/ edited using any editor.
Export of Symbol Mapping can be done if at least one line with Chart Symbol mapped to Broker Symbol is available.
