Forward Curve Key

Hey SA team,

Would it please be possible to put the caption/key in the forward curves frame in the top right rather than the left? Currently, it has a tendency to cover the price points for backwardated curves.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick

I have there some intelligence to find where's best to put legend. Seems that it doesn't work in all cases well. Could you please paste me here link to spread we are talking about?

Thanks

Roman

Sure - here's an example where you cant see what the 5 year historical curve is:

As you can see, the legend is in the way.

If the current curve (black) is in backwardation, you often cant see what the front months are doing because of this.

If the legend was on the right, it wouldnt impact what the current prices are doing. Few trade the back months so it shouldnt impose on other users. Alternately, put the legend off the graph perhaps?

Does that help?

Thanks,

Nick

Ok Nick, I moved legend to top right corner. Maybe later I will try to implement some clever way where to place legend based on data in chart.
