how to hide the trade-only symbol from the chart header

is there a way to hide the trade-only symbol in my chart headers?

for example, I am analysing ESU26, but I am trading MESU26 ... both appear in the chart header

but when I share my chart, it is not of anyone's business what symbol I am trading (MESU26) really, so I would like to hide that information; just the main symbol (ESU26) is what I want to share

is this possible? it seems that if the trade symbol is enabled, both are being displayed together always

uhm i can't think why this would possibly be a good idea, except for larping

it *is* relevant that the traded symbol is different than the displayed quote and should be displayed as such; even just for safety

i recommend you stop sharing your chart instead of contributing to the general immorality in this industry :p

There is not a way to not show the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" in the Chart Header when you have the symbol being displayed. As this implies, you can remove the symbol from the Chart Header to not have either one displayed.

You can then use the "Symbol Display" study if you want to display the symbol somewhere on the chart:
