You do the symbol mapping. There are default mappings, for the most typical MetaTrader symbols, like EURUSD, etc.
The mapping is done in a table. You can add, delete and change mappings in this table.
It all starts to select the IBKR contract. Then you define which MetaTrader symbols are linked to this contracts.
As you can connect multiple MetaTraders 4/5 to the copier, you can link multiple MetaTrader symbols to an IBKR contract.
The mapping is free, if it makes sense or not. For instance, you can link the MetaTrader EURUSD to the IBKR XAUUSD. This makes it possible to link
MetaTrader stock CFD to IBKR real stocks.
When link a symbol to an IBKR contract, you can also define how many shares are placed for the IBKR account when you place 1 lot for the MetaTrader symbol.
