Feature Request: Chart Linking - Associated Watchlist

View Count: 638

Dear Support,

I am working with multiple chartbooks and many charts inside each of them that use Associated watchlist of the same symbols (~60-70 futures symbols). I am using the watchlists as Control Bar dropdown lists to easily change symbols, and all charts in a single chartbook use the same watchlist, to be able to change symbols quickly, no matter what chart is selected in the chartbook.

When futures contracts roll, I manually update the Associated Watchlist then update the list of each charts in each chartbooks.

Because of the high number of the symbols and the charts in each chartbooks, this is a very time-consuming task, that should be done relatively frquently.

Can you please consider adding the option in the 'Chart - Chart Settings - Advanced Settings 2 - Chart Linking' to link charts based on their Associated watchlist?

Practically this would mean, that all linked charts' Associated Watchlists would update, when a linked chart's list is changed, or changes could be 'pushed' to other charts in a chartbook, using the Apply to linked charts option.

Thanks for your consideration in advance!

We have this marked as a Feature Request.

Just in case you are not aware, the file that holds the Associated Watchlist list is a plain text file and can be easily edited using any editor. Then you can just reload that list into the other charts. Hopefully this would save you a little time.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Thank you John!

Yes, I am aware of that feature and I use it, but it is still very time consuming to update several dozen charts one by one frequently, thats why I posted the idea to consider to add in the future.
