futures contract list
Hello, I would like to create a new chartlist with all futures contracts only (SP500, Euro, Gold, Oil, Sugar etc.) What is the easiest way of doing this, rather than searching individually to make my list ?
Thank you
Thank you

You could use the site search function for symbols.
Most contract symbols begin with a carat, which looks like and upside down V (it's above the number 6 on the top row of number keys on most keyboards - so it's Shift-6, which comes out as ^.
In the "Sharp Chart" search window at the top of the Member page, enter the carat alone, or, add a keyword for the contract, like oil or cocoa, etc.
So, start with ^ and press enter.
If you want only oil contracts enter ^ oil
If you want only 2018 contracts enter ^ 2018
etc.
I haven't tried it, but you may be able to do something similar with a scan, e.g.
and [symbol contains "^"]
and [name contains "oil"]
and [name contains "2018"}
Then you could merge the results into a list, or put them into a temp list, edit the temp list, then merge the temp list into a final list.

Thank you Markd ! I found a better way though. Using Sharp Chart search, just type "contract". This brings up all continuous futures contracts as well as monthly expiration too.0
