Hello all,
there is nobody on the service line at Interactive Brokers and I'm waiting now for +1h :/
Its a bit of a silly question...
Maybe you can help me. Are there any products on IB that are leveraged FX pairs?
Do you know the symbol names?
I know there are currency CFDs but I cant find the right symbol names to use with Ninjatrader .
Here is what I found.

Any suggestions?
Thx, and all the best

In NT under Tools>Instruments you can find the instruments and their symbol map to different brokers like IB.
For instance EURUSD is the FX pair (in NT) which will map to EUR.USD when connecting and transacting to IB.
Always try things first in SIM.

Thanks!
I had also contact with NT staff and they said the CFDs are reachable through @CFD name -> means i.e. @eurusd
Which makes sense, since I'm using also the @ in front of crypto to connect to Bitfinex symbols.
Now I have to check with IB, since after loading I don't get any candles on the chart, maybe I have to pay them for the CFD datastream...

What symbol(s) are you using?
From the IB website (https://ibkr.info/article/1984 ):
"The market data for IB Index CFDs is free, but you need to subscribe to it for system reasons. It is a global permission (like FX), so you only need to subscribe once. To do this, log into Account Management, and click through the following tabs: Settings/User Settings/Trading Platform/Market Data Subscriptions. Alternatively you can set up an Index CFD in your TWS quote monitor and click the “Market Data Subscription Manager” button that appears on the quote line. "
Don't know if it's still applicable.
(Also, keep in mind the Liquid Hours, see link above)
