Greetings,
i wonder if it is possible to clone a symbol in Quote Manager.
Let's say that i have @ES in TS and i want to clone it because i want to apply a different session for certain strategies,
I've tried to add a new symbol in TS with a different name, for example @ES_LOCAL_TIME having ES as symbol root, but is not working, no data are loaded from TS if i add it to a chart because the quote manager try to load data for @ES_LOCAL_TIME
I'm doing it wrong or is not possible?
Thanks.
Best regards.

Hello pietro.fontana,
Cloning instruments is not supported.
However you can create a custom session template to achieve your goal.
After you create your session template, apply it on the chart in Format Instrument -> Settings -> Sessions.

Hi Svetlana,
thanks for the answers.
I can't simply apply the custom session template because i want to use the same instruments with two different sessions in two different trading systems.
For what i understand, this is not possible.

Re: Is it possible clone a symbol in Quote Manager? [SOLVED]
There are two types of sessions:
Default session
Custom sessions (You can have as many custom sessions as you like)
The strategy trades off your chart.
You can make your chart in any session format you like : 24 hrs, 9 to 4, or Globex, or whatever . . .
Different charts can be made with different custom sessions.

Hello, Jumping in here for a quick question.. Could I use a custom symbol to collect realtime data for a symbol(under a custom symbol) and still update to historical data on the original symbol?
Giving me the ability to have both historical and RT data?
