To configure the curve buttons
Here, there are two preferences to set: the color of the curve line and how many days, months,
or years in the past the curve represents.
To change the color, click the colored square to open the standard color palette.
To change the time frame, use the arrows to move the number up or down, and click the arrow
to select Days, Months, or Years from the menu.
To set range of contracts
When you open the curve window, it is automatically populated with instruments. How many
instruments is determined in preferences.
The Before active contract value determines the number of contracts before the current
contract. The After active contract value determines the number of contracts after the
current contract.
You can also enter a symbol and range directly. The format is: symbol[low bound:high bound].
For example, EP [-1:2], where -1 and 2 are number of contracts being stepped from the most
active one. You can also use a comma or semi-colon to separate the bounds.
