Could a button be added, assuming it doesn't already exist that I am unaware of, that we could set to be able to toggle the Trade symbol between the micro and mini contracts (NQ and MNQ for example)? This would be very convenient for my trading and likely many others. Thank you! |

Good to know it can be done, thanks! But coding is not in my current skill-set and this would take me quite some time to figure out. I added one of the Custom Study buttons to my chart, but no idea how to properly code this function and how to assign it to that particular button. Also, there could be complexity of setting the symbol - ideally, you'd want to select the symbol from the symbol list and not manually hardcode it, and it needs to toggle back and forth between two symbols. Could someone with experience help me with this? I'd really appreciate it! |

Perhaps you can achieve the same objective by using two charts in the same chartbook. One chart for the NQ and another for the MNQ.
