Setting defaults for Chart Settings

There are several Chart Settings that I use on every new chart and would like to be able to set these by default.

Is there any way to set "Include Columns With No Data" and "Include Saturday-Sunday Bars For Daily Charts" to "Yes" so that I can always have calendar days?

Is there a way to set the number of forward columns to something other than 150 by default?

Even just a "Save as Default" option in the Chart Settings would work.

Maybe this will do what you need?

Thanks, but that is only for three of the chart settings and does not include the ones I need.

You need to create a "Template" chart and have it set the way you want and then duplicate that chart and change the symbol to get the new chart. Refer to the information here:

Thank you for the suggestion. I've done this in the same chartbook, but would like a way to do that with a fresh chartbook when nothing else is open. I'd prefer not to have to open a separate chartbook just to duplicate a chart off it...that takes just as long as changing the settings.

Could these settings be made available in the list of custom toolbar functions where we could set a button to change the settings like what is available for so many other things?

The only option is to duplicate the chart from another chartbook.
