Post From: Searching for futures spreads

Hi guys, is it possible that you improve the way the futures spreads are displayed and searched? So, right now when I "Get spreads" a dialog with all the exchange-side spreads is displayed. Usually this list is very long but displayed in a very narrow table, which requires a lot of horizontal scrolling. Some ideas on how to make the list more usable: 1. The first issue is that the dialog cannot we resized with a mouse, so the actually visible space which is showing the spread information table is very small and inconvenient, even with a tiny font the width of that space is just too small. 2. It would be extremely useful to have a Search bar on top of this list. Something similar as you already have in e.g. Chart settings, a filter field on top which makes it easy to find a particular setting among many available. 3. The naming of spreads is very long-winded and not very descriptive. For example "COMEX 5000 SILVER FUTURES SI Reduced Tick calendar spread Oct 2025" will be displayed as a description of dozens and dozens of spreads, but which all have June as the first leg and for which the back/second leg is different. Back leg is not displayed in the description in this case, which makes finding what you need hard. You should probably also reformat the description itself to make it as short and fully informative as possible, e.g. "SI Oct25/Dec25" or whatever, which would be much more readable and easier to find (once you implement the filter/search). Fixing any of the above would help! Thank you! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-06-11 12:16:53
