Post From: Unlink Days to Load?

@Futures Operator.

As my primary concerns are loading different number of days on different charts and ease of changing session times, this is what I came up with.

Existing
10-12 symbols per Chartbook, each symbol with 1 day, 5 Min and 60 Min intraday charts, separate links for each symbol including SYMBOL, SCROLL POSITION and SESSION TIMES. Thus 10-12 links per chartbook.

New
Links only for SESSION TIMES, separate links for 1 Day, 5 minute and 60 minute charts, thus 3 links per chartbook. I can thus load different number of days for each.

What I Lose
Symbol links - not a big deal as I rarely change symbols
SCROLL POSITION - This is useful when looking back in order to compare different time frames. So, I saved the Chartbooks with a different name so that I have the original links. As they feed off the same data files, they stay updated anyway. Of course this means loading fewer days, but I can manage as this is a very specific use.

What I Gain
Four times a year, instead of changing session times 10-12 times for each chartbook, I only need to change 3 times per chartbook.
I can load the highest number of days for the higher time frames, reducing to the lowest.

Hope this helps.
