Hi,
I'd like to test a custom symbol while I'm in trila mode and seems not working, is this feature available in trial mode?
for testing I use calendar spread

Configuration:
- Name : spread
- category: Calendar_Spread
- Price display format: 0.01
- use formals ooperatore: yes
- formula symbol MESU26-CME - MESM26-CME (I tested also {MESU26-CME} - {MESM26-CME} without luck)
- Download historical data for formula symbol : yes

I get all the time an empty chart anf the logs below

Both MESU26-CME and MESM26-CME taken alone works fine but not th spread

No, custom symbols will not work on a trial.
