change Chart symbol specification from within EFS

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the symbol (futures) specification of the current advanced chart from within my efs code.

For example, in Bond, symbol ZN, as the contract expiration months change from H to M, to U, to Z, I want the chart to change automatically from ZN H7 to ZN M7, and from ZN M7 to ZN U7, etc. So, at any time, the chart is displaying the appropriate contract month all year round while maintaining the same formula and time, etc.

If this is possible, could you please point me to the right direction? Thank you.

At this time it is not possible to change the symbol and/or interval of a chart from within an efs

My pleasure.
You may want to consider creating a user defined continuous contract to track those futures. This way you will not have to change the symbols at every rollover.
For more information on user defined continuous contracts and how to create them see this article in the eSignal KnowledgeBase
