View Full Version : Suggestion for Data Series - remember previously opened Instrument List

When one adds a series to chart, the set of symbols to quickly choose new symbols to load this chart with in upper left corner of chart window seem to be driven by the "Default" Instrument List as defined in Instrument Manager.

When one creates their own custom Instruments List, it shows up properly from sets to open from the Data Series window (CTRL-F). However, after choosing one symbol from your custom list, next time you open up Data Series window, the Default Instrument list opens up.

Would be more user friendly instead to open up previously opened Instrument List user used last time he used the Data Series window. I already have shortcut access to Default Instrument list via upper left corner of chart window drop down box. Making it always also open up Default instrument list in Data Series window is a bit annoying after awhile when you want to use some custom Instruments list real quickly for firing up a bunch of new charts from a certain list.

Also, when adding another data series to existing chart (multi-data series), would be nice to have the newly added data series to synchronize its "Data" params with the primary data series.

For example, if I configure a primary series to be CustomRange with a certain start and end date, it would be nice if the newly added series inherits these attributes as well by default instead of defaulting to Days to load back for example. These would be the Data params I would like to be synchronized by default upon adding new data series:

* Load data based on
* Days to load/Bars to load/Start Date
