The experts trade on the chart you attach them.


You only need a symbol name if you specify it in an indicator to create multi-currency exerts.
It would help if you created new symbols with suffixes in such a case.
Then, you need to copy the necessary files from the "FSB Demo Data" folder. For example, you can copy EURUSD30.csv to EURUSD.FX30.csv.

What is needed is a way to add a suffix to a symbol using FSB and even EA Studio.
