Post From: Master Symbol for Futures Contracts?

Is there any way to create a 'Master Symbol' for tracking PNL and Stats for futures contracts regardless of exp month, a symbol change or even different accounts so it all rolls up into NQ, ES, CL etc?

If not, could you all add a field under Symbol Settings -> F.US.CLE?## -> (New Field) Master Symbol -> NQ,ES,CL etc, so all contracts associated are 'rolled up' into a consolidated list? Then in Trade Activity Log a new tab [Master Trade Activity] to view the consolidated contracts.

Example YTD just for Crude I already have the following (below). Partly due to multiple brokers/symbols, AMP switch from TT to CQG (symbol change), and probably when your CME Direct Routing goes live yet another symbol change. Even absent all that, I can't see a way to report PNL/Stats for weekly/monthly/yearly, top level contracts like CL or ES.

CL-202101-NYMEX
CL-202102-NYMEX
CL-202103-NYMEX
CL-202104-NYMEX
CL-202105-NYMEX
F.US.CLEF21
F.US.CLEG21
F.US.CLEH21
F.US.CLEJ21
CLF21_FUT_NYMEX
CLG21_FUT_NYMEX
CLH21_FUT_NYMEX

Being able to track all these into a consolidated 'Crude Oil' master symbol would be awesome
