What's the logic behind the feature where I can type in the chart's symbol or time frame ? Sometimes the characters entered go into a chart's symbol and sometimes into a time frame. I haven't able to understand whats the logic. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-04-23 06:09:40

It looks like the answer is if you start by typing in numbers then it will be handled as a time frame (and it's type if given). Otherwise what you type in is handled as a symbol. But this doesn't work always like this... Edit Now I got it. You have to type in small letters (not capital) and then you can switch from symbols to time frames. For example typing in "F.US.MESM22" will switch to ES June futures contract (CQG data) and then "10r" will switch you into a 10 Tick Range charts. If you type "10R" it will be handled as a symbol and doesn't work. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-04-25 11:28:03

It is surprising, that we never came to realize that there is a case-sensitive comparison with bar periods suffixes like "r". Will make this case insensitive to solve this: If you type "10R" it will be handled as a symbol and doesn't work.
