Post From: Charts reset Session Times when switching instruments via Quote Board

Good morning John: I spent some time with this over the weekend. It seems part of the problem is that in Symbol Settings, the default setting for 'Use Evening Session Times' for some symbols is 'no', & the default for the ES is 'yes'. I had them all set to 'yes'. So when setting them all to 'no', when switching symbols in a chartbook using the quoteboard, the charts all switched, & retained the Regular Trading Hours settings for each symbol. However, the problem is- only some charts need to be RTH, while some charts need to be extended session. So in troubleshooting this, I created a new symbol (for the ES) using the same settings except the 'Use Evening Session' set to 'no', & tried loading that symbol on the RTH charts. It only works if I name & list the symbol using the current front month symbol (not ES Day Session, or ES2)- although all the actual settings are the same as ES?#.CME (rithmic symbol). So what I get is either a symbol that won't load on the chart, or, if I name it acceptably- I get the settings for 'Use Evening Session Times' set to 'no' for all the charts in the chartbook again. So currently, the best solution at the moment is to be continually in the habit of manually toggling 'Use Evening/Full Session' in the respective chart via the context menu. That's really a pain & distracting. Creating a separate chartbook w/ charts always visible doesn't work either, as the same symbol settings are referenced, & the charts are being changed via the quoteboard. Can you suggest another workaround? We could go back to having separate chartbooks for each instrument, but one of the goals in switching instruments using the quoteboard was to maintain speed & efficiency on the machine. Please advise, & thank you! |
