Hello SC Support,

I would like to erase some old Futures contracts symbols from the Trade Activity Log as I don't need them anymore.

I can clear all the trade data but can't figure out how to erase the symbols.

Could you please give me some instructions?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

I had already done (and just tried again) what is indicated in that section of the link you posted.

However, my issue is with the Symbols drop down list - I have there all the expired contracts I traded up to now and I can't clear them from that list.

How can I erase them from that list?

Thanks.

What is in that list of Symbols in the Trade Activity Log is based upon the actual trade activity in the database.

You will need to select each individual symbol that you want to delete and then clear the trade activity data for that symbol according to the instructions linked to.

Thank you again for your reply.

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and I thought I should post it here as it can help other people in the future.

In order to clear all the data, we have to have the "Trade Activity" tab selected.

I had the "Trades" tab selected and for some reason it wasn't clearing the data completely.

Yes, this is true. The Edit >> Clear command is disabled if you have any other tab other than the Trade Activity tab selected.

I have the same issue and then some. Following your instructions & deleting Trade Activity doesn't remove old outdated symbols.

Also, Option trades are showing up in the Symbol pulldown menu; I have never placed options trades using SC Trade Window; I have always placed options trades directly on IB's Trader Workstation interface.

Please see screenshot attached. Thanks.

The only way to avoid this is to not connect Sierra Chart to your Interactive Brokers account.
