I am creating "custom futures" that are composed of historical data from external import and then the front-month futures contracts. Here is the documentation on custom futures:
https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... om_Futures
At the end it states, "If there are no futures symbols in the data base for creating a Custom Futures, the following alert message will appear". That alert message appears in my case because I'm intentionally creating a contract from historical data married to front month data. I have a few questions:
1) Can I suppress these messages as they appear every time I go to use the symbol?
2) Is there any issue with trading live against this contract?

Re: Custom futures alert messages [SOLVED]
Hello tradetree,
1) That is possible to completely disable Custom Futures warning messages.
You need to change a registry value in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TS Support\MultiCharts .NET64\SHOW_CF_WARNING
1=enabled, 0=disabled.
By default is set to 1 upon first Custom Futures creation.
2) You need to setup the symbol mapping in order to trade from custom futures data on the front month contract. Rollover of custom futures dataseries cannot be done in realtime. You need to close/open the chart to rollover. Symbol mapping should be also manually adjusted when you need to trade the new contract.

Re: Custom futures alert messages
Thanks. I did the symbol mapping and I even placed a trade in a live account (not intentionally, but that is another story). All is good now.
