I'm using a quote board or watch list to switch the symbol. One thing I found when experimenting is that I can get it to work when I modify the predefined "????" global symbol pattern with no "-NQTV" suffix. For example, if I set the trade/quote global setting for the "????" pattern to "????-TEST" and switch to MSFT via the quote board, the trade/quote symbol on the chart becomes MSFT-TEST as expected. When I try to replicate the above behavior by setting the "????-NQTV" global symbol pattern to "????-NQTV-TEST", switching symbols via the quote board does not update the trade/quote symbol. It remains blank or shows the value for prior symbol.
