Will you please tell me if the following is possible in SC?

I want to have 4 chart windows open, all with the same symbol, but each window with a different time frame.

I want to have SC continuously scan my Associated Watch List for an alert condition (using a spreadsheet alert) across all 4 timeframes.

When I see a TRUE in the Alert Log I want to click the Symbol in the watch list and have my 4 chart windows populate with that symbol.

I have this set up to successfully monitor for alert conditions for the symbol that is currently filling the charts, but I would like it scan the other symbols in the watchlist in the background, so that I do not have to have dozens of chart windows open.

It seems that I have to periodically hit "scan" in the chart menu to search for True alert conditions for symbols in the watchlist, but is there a way to have the symbols in the watchlist continuously monitored without having windows open for them?

Thanks.

This will be supported in version 1604. There is going to be a new Chart >>Enable Continuous Scanning option which can be enabled.

Before going to the chart from a line in the Alerts Log, you will need to first stop the scan.
