It would be extremely useful to add a Forward Curve chart for futures markets, similar to the functionality available on platforms such as Schwab thinkorswim.

The chart would display:

Contract expiration months on the X-axis
Futures prices on the Y-axis
All available contract months for the selected futures symbol plotted simultaneously

This would allow traders to quickly visualize the term structure of a market and identify whether it is in contango or backwardation without manually comparing individual contract prices.

Potential enhancements could include:

Comparing the current forward curve with previous trading sessions
Displaying percentage differences between contracts
Overlaying multiple dates to analyze curve shifts over time
Supporting major futures products across commodities, indices, rates, and currencies

A dedicated forward curve view would provide valuable insight for spread traders, hedgers, and anyone analyzing futures market structure, while bringing the platform in line with functionality already offered by several competing trading platforms.
