Hello Ranguy,

If you'd like to change the visual order of the indicator plots on the chart, you can do that through right-click on the chart > Visual Order.
Please find more information on changing the visual order here.

thx... but this is not what I am looking for.

I am looking for changing the sequence of the indicators on a chart.

Example:

SPY Chart
["Main data series: SPY daily candles"]
[indicator 1: RSI]
[indicator 2: MACD]

I would like to change that to

SPY Chart
["Main data series"]
[indicator 2: MACD]
[indicator 1: RSI]

That means to swop RSI and MACD on that SPY Chart without deleting.

Why not deleting? Because, then you need to format etc. every indicator again. If you have 3 or 4 indicators on a chart this can become cumbersome.

Ranguy,

I believe what I suggested is exactly what you're requesting.
To achieve what you described, please right-click on the chart and select Visual Order.
In the Visual Order window select the RSI indicator and click Move Forward.

Tammy,

still cannot figure out how to do that

Here is a picture of my chart
https://ibb.co/fFSNyVb

I would like to move RSI one up, so it sits below the spy candles chart

When i right click in the spy chart, i can open "visual order ...". This lets me change visual order on the spy chart (e.g. is the bollinger band front or back to the spy candles). Here is the screenshot: https://ibb.co/mTd2C3V

I need s.th. similar to change the order of RSI and Avarge True Range Indicatores.

Hi Ranguy,

do a right-click on the background somewhere on the chart
select "format indicator" - there is a row that tells you on wich subchart your indicators are
open the one you want to change
change subchart in the properties tile

Hello Ranguy,

If you need to move the indicators to other subcharts, you can do it through Format Indicator > Properties tab > Subchart section, as Chris suggested.
You can also drag and drop your indicators to different subcharts using your mouse.
Please find more info on moving studies between subcharts here.
