Chart Trader "forgets" selected instrument to trade in multi-instrument charts

[jvanelli]

NT 8.0.18.0. Create a chart with primary instrument say ES. Add secondary instrument say MES. Now enable chart trader and select the secondary instrument MES to trade. Now add another chart under separate tab within the same window. When you return to the original chart you will find that Chart Trader has _not_ retained your selection of MES to trade, but has reverted back to the primary instrument ES. This can be quite an annoyance when one maintains several similar charts under separate tabs within the same window; i.e. if not careful you will be trading for more (or less) size than intended. There may be other situations where this arbitrary re-selection of instrument by Chart Trader occurs.
