[User Discussion] - Text tag issue with multiple charts/spreadsheets

I have a spreadsheet system I'm exploring, and there are different signals specific to different timeframes. So, I have separate sheets in the main spreadsheet file, for the various timeframes (5min, 10min, etc.). Everything works, except there's a problem with the text tag. I want to know in the reports, which chart timeframe was responsible for each trade. Seems simple enough... I just put a label in J102 for each chart, identifying it. But the charts are all using the same instrument and account, so the orders end up appearing on every chart, and every sheet, and the tag that ends up being used isn't necessarily from the chart that generated the signal.

Is there a way I can determine which chart/sheet was responsible for each trade as shown in the TAL?

I've worked around this issue, it's a bit cumbersome but it works. Basically each higher timeframe chart looks to see if the same signal also exists on the lower timeframe charts and if so, doesn't give the signal. That way only the smallest timeframe chart that contains the signal in question, is the one that gets used for the record in the TAL. Seems to be working OK.
