The COT Indicators plot COT data in my charts for the exchange symbols but the Globex symbols do not. E.g. - S for soybeans displays COT data but ZS for the Globex soybeans does not. How can I link the data so it does?

(This should be as nice change of pace question for you since it seems nobody does futures <:) )
Thanks

Currently there isn't any way to manually update it. We need to update the COT database or make it where you can yourself.

That would be good! New symbols keep coming up, e.g. futures on crypto currencies are here.

In the meantime COT indicators have a box to enter the base symbol but that is not working. If I plot the Globex Wheat (ZW) and add the COT Net Longs (Futures) indicator with "W" in the indicator for base symbol nothing changes.

Do I have that right - should that apply the W COT data?
