Question on Chart Drawing and Linking Chart

'I've seem to come up with some issues regarding drawings and linking charts.

I've got the same symbol up, linked the drawings together for all the charts like in this case chart "2,5,20,21,22). But if I do drawings on one chart it still does not populate on the others.

Same goes for orders, for 2 of the charts it pops up when I put an order in but not on the three others for some reason. Orders in this case "stops, targets, entry location".

I've went through some of the forms even a full youtube video explaining on sierra chart but still does not seem to get it working. Is there something I am missing for this?

First, with regards to the drawings, each chart has its own set of settings for what other charts it will copy the drawings from. So you would have to go to each chart and enter the other chart numbers to copy them to that chart. For example, for chart 1 you may have entered "2, 5, 20, 21, 22", therefore on Chart 2, you would have to enter "1, 5, 20, 21, 22" in order for Chart 2 to copy the drawings from Chart 1, 5, 20, 21, and 22.

Also, if the charts are for different symbols, then you need to ensure that the option for Show Chart Drawings for Different Symbols is set to Yes on each chart.

Refer to the documentation for copying chart drawings starting here:
Chart Settings: Copy Chart Drawings from Chart #'s (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu)

Second, with regards to the orders on the chart. Keep in mind that the orders are only going to show on charts of the same symbol. Additionally, if you have the option for Trade >> Only Orders From Chart enabled for a chart, then it will not show any other orders. And the most important, the chart has to have the option for Trade >> Show Orders and Positions enabled. For more on this and other possible items, refer to the following:
