This has been an ongoing problem, and since there hasn't been any activity on this thread, I thought I would try to explain it in more simple terms. Suppose I want to create 3 charts with the following requirements: 1. When I scroll chart 1 or 2, they both scroll, not chart 3 2. When I scroll chart 3, only chart 3 scrolls. 3. When I change the Bar Period on chart 2 or 3, they both change, chart 1 stays as is. 4. When I change the Bar Period on chart 1, only chart 1 changes. Based on the above requirements, and my understanding of how linking charts works, I think this is how I would set that up. (I could be wrong.) All Charts: - Link Number: 1 - Symbol: Checked Chart 1 - Scroll Position: Checked Chart 2 - Bar Period: Checked - Scroll Position: Checked Chart 3 - Bar Period: Checked Chartbook CL 0.cht (attached) has these settings. When I test the above 4 requirements, Numbers 2 and 4 fail. The ones that should be independent, end up impacting the other charts. Even testing all combinations of Master Mode ends up with at least one requirement failing. So, unless I am not understanding how linking works, it doesn't work the way I would like it to work. I don't understand under what scenarios I would want changes to a chart with a link option not checked. To me, if the link option is checked it changes when any other chart with the same link number and the same link option checked is changed. If the link option is unchecked, it is independent, not connected to other charts. So it changes by itself. Am I the only one who sees this? Please see the attached PDF file for more details of the setup and test results. |
