Let's consider a situation where a provider's account instrument is EURUSD and on subscribers' accounts all instruments are using a suffix so the final instrument reads f.e. EURUSDpro. We might want to remove the suffix and last 3 letters on the subscriber's account so it can be mapped to an identical instrument name on the master.

To remove the suffix, we input number 3 to delete the last 3 letters of the instrument name on the subscriber's account and it’s all done.

If prefix/suffix doesn’t work for all instruments (f.e. different instruments have different prefix/suffix), we will have to map the instruments individually. We add a plus sign to add a new row. We then click on the Add box and start typing the instrument name. We choose the instrument and add instrument to the list so we can adjust the prefix/suffix for the specific instrument.

We first add the provider instrument and then we keep adding instruments for subscribers, so EURUSD in the provider will correspond to all added instruments. Search will only look for the instruments provided by a specific provider, the one that account belongs to.

This way we can associate all instruments on each subscriber account to the instruments on the provider account.
