Save Filled Trades to Chartbook Not to Simulation Profile

Please implement the following feature if not available: saving of simulated filled trades to a chartbook, not to a simulation profile (I know we get up to 400 of the latter. I practice intraday trading of futures contracts, and I would like to save the visual (on-chart) order fill information on my charts to each chartbook for each day session I practice; I don't want to save it to a simulation profile. This would be useful for visual review of a Replayed simulation.

I already tried the above for two separately-saved chartbooks, but when I cleared my activity log, the trades for both chartbooks were deleted. I was not surprised buy this outcome given how the "Clear" function works for the a single simulation profile and given the pop-up warning.

Alternatively, is there way to accomplish the above give then current software?

To summarize, if I save a chartbook for each session of practice, I would like to see the order fills only for that (saved) session, even if I ever use the "Clear" function on the SAME simulation profile.

This is something that would never happen. Order fills are held in the Trade Activity Log which consists of files. You can make copies of those files:
Trade Activity Log: Determining Existence of Trade Activity through Files

There are a large number of simulated Trade Accounts that you can use to categorize the trading data. Refer to:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Number of Simulation Accounts (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)
