Trade Window Questions

I'm using 60m, 30m, 15m, 5m, 3m and 1m as timeframes. I trade off 5m, 3m and 1m.

Q1 - How do I display the same trade window on these 3 shorter timeframes?
Q2 - How do I see the orders on all 3 timeframe charts?
Q3 - I can't move the orders (like targets and stops) directly on my chart with my mouse. Why would that be?

I'm going through the docs but not finding what I need. Thanks

Q1. Each chart has its own Trade Window. So you can not display the same Trade Window for 3 different charts. You can, however, link the Trade Windows between the charts, so they will always show the same information in each of them as any item that is changed in one will then get updated in the others. Refer to the information for Linking at the following link, and note the linking of Trade Window:

Q2. First, make sure the option for Trade >> Show Orders and Positions is enabled. Refer to the following:
Trade Menu: Show Orders And Position (Trade menu)

Otherwise, as long as the charts are for the same symbol, then the trades should show up in all of them. The only reason why a trade for a specific symbol would not show in charts for the same symbol (besides the above) is if the chart has the option for Trade >> Only Orders From Chart enabled. Refer to the information here:
Trade Menu: Only Orders From Chart (Trade menu)

Q3. Ensure that Trading Locked is not enabled, refer to the following:
Trade Menu: Trading Locked (Trade menu)

And make sure that the chart on which you are trying to move the orders has Trade >> Chart Trade Mode On enabled. Refer to the following:
Trade Menu: Chart Trade Mode On (Trade menu)

And finally, make sure that the orders you are trying to move are movable and not already filled.
