Please explain! What naming? The name of the symbols? Then yes, symbols name are set by your broker (some have prefixes or suffixes) and have to match, just has the OP has questioned!

EDIT: However, if your EA is only trading a single symbol (the one on the attached chart), then just use the "_Symbol" predefined variable or the "Symbol()" function to retrieve the name of the symbol associated with the chart.
