Guys,i have set up a dataset of 98 futures contracts and that is working ok but i would like to make another data set with only 10 or 12 futures from the same file. when i create a new data set and then try to delete some of the futures codes like it says in the user help section the button " apply symbol changes made to above data set" remains greyed out. What am i doing incorrectly please?

By design, this feature does not apply to ASCII. Neither adding/removing symbols nor selecting a subset will work.

Two workarounds:

* Copy the data files for your 10-12 futures contracts to a different folder, create a New ASCII DataSet and on the last wizard page, click "Common Formats" - "Copy format from a DataSet" and select your existing DataSet.
* Registered customers (not free trial users) can utilize the Watchlist Provider extension.
