Post From: charts disappearing

Glad you were able to sort this one out. I also want to share a far more simplified approach when it comes to how I treat Chart, chartbook, study collections and twconfig files. In my mind, I now consider them as one 'object'. I am moving away from the monkey business of saving study collections and trade ticket configuration files into it's own unique filenames. It is so much easier from version control and dev > test > live life cycle management standpoint to just save it all into ONE chartbook file as a whole. I have also got rid of maintaining "release notes" in notepad++. Nowadays, I save it all in the Alert formula window as freeform text (with subgraph set as "Ignore". This way, when I open a chartbook, I know for damn sure, which SIM account it is tied to via attached trade ticket to the chart, for which instrument(s), what attached order settings is used in trade ticket etc etc. No more messing around with notepads and tradelogs in excel to keep track of my backtesting results etc. When I move the chartbook to Live/Forward testing, I simply duplicate the chart in the SAME chartbook so ONE chartbook for each traded instrument with two replica of charts....one for testing and another one for live trading with studies and attached trade ticket pointing to live account. That's all there is to it !

Hope this helps anyone who wants to simplify their life.
