Symbol mapping and Auto-Configure
Short answer
Platforms name the same instrument differently. Symbol mapping tells Thor which follower symbol matches each leader symbol, and Auto-Configure fills it in for you.
Open a copy link and choose Symbol Mappings. Each row maps a leader symbol to the follower symbol.
- Auto-Configure fills the mapping for the two platforms you picked. When you change a platform, the mapping is reset and filled again.
- Mappings use the contract root, so they keep working at every quarterly rollover.
- Always check the CFD rows: brokers label the same instrument differently (
EURUSD,EURUSD.r,EURUSDm).
