Description

For crypto coins, usually there are Spots (cryptocurrency) and Futures for the same symbol, i.e. ETHUSDT, and when using .csy command to change symbol usually will not go to the correct crypto symbol.

Therefore, please add new parameter for .CSY command: category

Use Case:
.csy name=ETHUSDT, category=fut
.csy name=ETHUSDT, category=cry

With the following "category" inputs:
Stock: stk
Index: idx
Future: fut
Stock Option: opt
Forex: fx
Bond: b
Cash: c
Spread: spd
Cryptocurrencies: cry
Custom Futures: CF

Consider this also to be a request to add the minimum number of necessary fields to the .csy command in order to correctly add a symbol to the database if trying to change symbol to one that does not exist. So also add an EXCHANGE field. Otherwise the symbol gets created with a default and possibly incorrect EXCHANGE.

Supplying the necessary fields to correctly ADD the new symbol is in my opinion the same as also supplying the necessary fields to differentiate symbols that have the same ROOT but a different catagory. If anyone would prefer that I submit this as a seperate feature request or bug, I will.

Thank you for your consideration.
