Post From: Request: Support Per Chart Suffix when using Global > symbol entry from chart ...

Current Situation

Currently, to access both the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape data and the NASDAQ TotalView Market Depth data in a single chart, I need to use symbols with the "_MBO" suffix, such as "NFLX_MBO". This requires me to manually append to each stock symbol I enter, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially when managing multiple charts.

Additionally, when I want to see accurate pulling or stacking, I need to use a chart with the -NQTV suffix.

Feature Request

I would like to request a per-chart setting that allows the user to specify that any stock symbol entered into that chart should automatically have a particular suffix (like "-NQTV" or "_MBO") appended to it. For example, if I type "NFLX" into the chart, it would be automatically treated as "NFLX_MBO" without me having to manually add the suffix.

I believe this would go a long way in helping Sierra Chart better support trading stocks without requiring the use of a pre-built quote board. This would also help support third-party tools such as Trade-Ideas, which supports linking symbol changes with Sierra Chart.

I appreciate the consideration. And if I missed an existing workaround, I apologize.

Thanks for all your work and for an excellent product!
