New contract chart

[alex_bbfg]

Hello support --

I've charted CL 01-14 contract, but now all liquidity is on CL 02-14 contract. I had to change chart instrument from CL 01-14 to CL 02-14 and all my drawings are disappeared.

What is the way to keep previous in case of instrument changing.

Regards.

Hello alex_bbfg,

Unfortunately this is as expected. Drawing objects are saved per instrument + expiry month. You could use the CL ##-## if your data feed provider supports continuous data. That way you never have to switch instruments in the chart and so the drawing objects will remain.

Go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instrument Manager, highlight the CL and set Expiry to ##-##. Click the arrow pointing to the left.
