manual symbol does not appear in "format instrument" window

Postby plaforte » 16 Jun 2014

Hello, I have added a symbol manually in the futures category NYSE. I loaded data from csv file , I made a chart with the symbol and everything OK.

Then I added another symbol, same procedure as previous, the symbol shows in the QM window and I can see the data also if I go to edit data. BUT when I want to assign that symbol to my chart, I do not see it in the list in the "format instrument" window, I see only my first symbol.

The only thing that is different is the name. The first symbol name is MySILVER and the second symbol is MySOY.

Any idea what is the cause ?

Thank you
Pierre

OK case solved, it seems the problem was the ascii format. I did not suspect it because I could see the data in QM after importing but I tried anyway to use a excel csv instead of the text file and it worked.

Thank you
