I noticed the following unexpected behavior:
As instruments normally can be selected via the "Instrument Dropdown" button in the status line of a chart window, this is not possible for Custom Futures. When a Custom Futures is selected from the dropdown list, it will not be recognized as futures but as stock and a new instrument will be created in Quote Manager in the stocks category.
How to reproduce:
1) Create a custom futures and load its chart in a chart window
2) Switch within this chart window to any other instrument
3) Try to revert to the custom futures loaded in 1) via the Instrument Dropdown list in the status line. The custom futures will be displayed in the dropdown list, but it will not be loaded. Instead, a new instrument has been created in Quote Manager.
Custom Futures can't be selected via Instrument Dropdown [SOLVED]

seneca, please make sure the Name of your Custom Futures has no lower case letters (only upper case letters can be used).
