Post From: Idea/Suggestion: symbol default timeframe

When using a volume/tick/range chart, a change of symbol does not work nicely since the volume/range will vary greatly between products. A 50,000 volume chart of SPY looks very different from a 50,000 volume chart of ES futures, for example.

So, one idea would be to have several fields for each symbol that specify a default timeframe. It could be called "Preferred Timeframe 1" (and 2, 3, etc.) for example. It could be in minutes, range, volume, or anything else. Then have the chart reference either a normal timeframe (such as 0-5-0 time, 1500V, 8r, or anything else) or the symbol's Preferred Timeframe 2, for example.

I'm sure you have a lot on your plate, but perhaps there is enough interest to consider this at some point.
