I swear I must be starting to loose it because I can't for the life of me remember the symbol format for Forex in IB. I would therefore greatly appreciate it if someone could remind me how it's done.

Thanks,
Joe

I figured out the format last night. For anyone who might be interested it is symbol_type_exchange code_ currency. So for example the USDJPY pair would be: USD_CASH_IDEALPRO_JPY
