Good day. For the Watch List entries is it possible to somehow specify the "Trade&Quote Symbol" there to easily switch between instruments when "Watch List Mode" is enabled? Like, what is the format I should be using for that? So, I'm using EURUSD chart from "Forex" symbol section, and EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO as my quote symbol, as I'm trading with IBKR. Setting watchlist entry to "EURUSD/EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO" does not show anything, or it's just not possible at all to have watchlist symbols tied to specific trade symbols? I'm just looking for solution to be able to use SC provided data combined with IBKR trading, and quickly switching symbols. I can overcome this by simply having separate chartbooks for each symbol configured separately, but I think there's no hot-swap list for chartbooks similar to "Compact Associated Watch List on Control Bar", as described in documentation? Thx. |

If you are wanting to have a specific "Trade And Current Quote Symbol" set when you change to a specific symbol, then you need to set up the Trade/Quote Symbol in the Symbol Settings first. Refer to the information here for the Trade/Quote Symbol setting: Global Symbol Settings: Symbol Settings Also make sure that the following is not enabled: Chart Settings: Clear Trade and Current Quote Symbol on Symbol Change (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Then when you switch to a symbol that has the Trade/Quote Symbol defined it will fill that in for the Trade and Current Quote Symbol.
