Working with Curves

You can add curves for the same set of contracts, but for different periods of time. You can set that period in preferences.

To add curves

Click a curve button in the lower right corner of the window. Active buttons are orange. A curve line will be added for each button you click.

To add curves from the chart

Place a vertical line on the chart (click in the date/time area, drag to desired location, click again).

That vertical line is represented by a curve on the Yield Curve or Forward Curve window.

To remove curve

Click an active curve button.

You can also right-click the curve identifier at the top left of the window, and then click Remove Curve, like this:

You can also remove the curve by removing the corresponding vertical line or vertical cursor from the chart.
