Linking Charts

Postby Pennino » 10 Mar 2013

Hi,

I have a problem trying to link charts. I searched in your database but could not find anything on the argument (may be is just me LOL).

The Symbol Link button is not present on the chart. I have all the other dropdown buttons (resolution, instrument, etc.) but not this one.

I also looked to enable the button through the Status Line setting but I do not have that option.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards

Not sure what you are looking for...

Instrument is the Symbol.

Hi,

Sorry I try to re-explain it.
I would like to link 2 charts by symbols (instruments) but apparently I can not find this option.

Directly from your Wiki page (see picture)

Thanks

That's from the old MultiCharts. The current version uses the term "Instrument" instead of "Symbol".

Hi,

Ok I understand.

Sorry to bother you but I am evaluating the features of MC comparing it to similar products.

So, If I have a workspace with 2 charts: 15min and 1Hr. Can I link the 2 charts (instruments) in a way that if I scroll to a specific point on the 15 min chart (i.e 9:00 o.clock), than also the 1 Hr chart moves together to the same point.

Thanks again for your patience.

Yes, just click on one chart and all the other charts will be centered on the same time spot. You do not need to "link" them, the times are always synchronized.
You might want to check View > Show Cross to bring up the cross hair for easy viewing.

The "Link" feature is for you to change symbols. If the charts are linked, when you change the symbol in one chart, the linked charts will change to that symbol automatically.
