Example - Trade the US100Index and UK100Index symbols with my broker

• Goal: My broker provides the US100Index and UK100Index symbols not the US100 and UK100 for the NASDAQ and the FTSE 100 markets, correspondingly. I want to trade the US100Index and UK100Index symbols when a signal for the US100 or UK100 comes in.
• How-to: Here is an example EA configuration how to achieve the above:
  1. Signal Market Symbols = US100 UK100
  2. Broker Market Symbols = US100Index UK100Index
  3. Market Name Prefix/Suffix Handling = Manual: User Defined Prefix & Suffix
• Description: A signal comes in to trade the US100 symbol: The EA replaces the US100 with the US100Index name and executes the trade on the US100Index symbol with my broker.

  A signal comes in to trade the UK100 symbol: The EA replaces the UK100 with the UK100Index name and executes the trade on the UK100Index symbol with my broker.

  Note: A signal may come in for other symbols as well, however those other symbols are not replaced and the EA executes them as they come in. Only the symbols listed at the Signal Market Symbols and Broker Market Symbols are replaced.
