Watchlists, Custom Studies and Linked charts.  [SOLVED]

Hi,

I have a watchlist that contains 80 to 100 different instruments. On that watchlist I put in my own custom study, and have unique perameters set for each instrument on the watchlist.. I right mouse clicked and changed the value for each of the 80 to 100 lines. It works well and I can see the study values on the watchlist that are a result of the unique parameters set for each of the instruments on the watchlist....

Here is what i would like...

I would really like it if i could link a chart with my custom study to the watchlist, such that as i click a given instrument on the watchlist, it would load the unique parameters that each instrument has which is stored in my watchlist. This would be good because without this capability, I must have 80 to 100 charts saved with each unique parameter set (that is already in the watchlist). If I have this feature, then I only need 1 chart, and it loads the parameters dynamically from the watchlist to the chart.

Is this possible with the current release?


Thanks.

Hello KhaosTrader,

Unfortunately there is no such functionality at the moment.
You may want to submit a feature request to the Project Management of our web site so other users can vote for it: https://www.multicharts.com/pm/

No unnecessary extra feature needed. You can define any parameter for your studies for every symbol in your own code. It's just 1time work.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for that idea... I like it. I am thinking of using ELCollections to read a text datafile that will load the settings, then I can just edit the data file...

You are welcome and your solution is even better . Nice.

Yep I successfully implemented it just last night. Its very cool. the settings data is loaded on each row of the watchlist and when i click on the linked chart, the chart is loaded with the proper settings also.

So now before I had 93 charts on a 10 min time frame, now its reduced to 1 chart and the watchlist which also gives me alerts on which chart to look at. Very cool stuff.

I will be adding 2 more timeframes within the next week...

Awesome! Not only will this save a lot of time, it will also save a lot of computing resources. It would be great for the community if you consider sharing your code?
