vegasfoster, I think the most straightforward way around this is a study option to disable the auto-switching. I've coded some custom menu items in SC that are displayed with a right-click, and you can select/deselect an item that sets a flag which suspends the auto-switching. I think this would work. In fact, you could have menu items as such:

- Custom TF 1
- Custom TF 2
- Custom TF 3
- Disable TF

and select whichever you like. My idea was to have a longer term volume chart (for ES, maybe 80K), medium term (5K), and short term (800K), and to select whichever you like. I already use these but when switching instruments it obviously throws things off. If I'm feeling adventurous tonight I may trip to whip something up and will send to you if you are interested.

I already have custom timeframes on a menu but there would be a lot if you wanted it for a variety of instruments. Having a list for each instrument would be a much quicker way to do it without having to switch manually.
