While you are thinking about this, here are some more of my thoughts. Let's begin with a simple case, two charts linked by symbol, a third not linked at all. Below is a summary with expected behaviors. A. Case number 1: Three charts, two linked by Symbol 1. Charts 1 and 2 are linked with number 1 and Symbol is checked 2. Chart 3 has no links 3. Rules: #1 Change the Symbol in chart 1, chart 2 changes Symbol too. Chart 3 is unchanged. #2 Change the Symbol in chart 2, chart 1 changes Symbol too. Chart 3 is unchanged. #3 Change the Symbol in chart 3 and charts 1 and 2 Symbols are unchanged. Why is this correct? Because chart 3 is not linked, it stands alone. No other chart can change it. It can not change another chart. If we can agree that this is correct, then we can go to the next case. B. Case number 2: Three charts, all linked by symbol, two linked by session time 1. Chart 1, 2, and 3 all have Link Number 1, and all are linked by Symbol. 2. Charts 1 and 2 are also linked by Session Times. 3. Rules: #1. Change the symbol in any chart and all the other charts change symbols too. #2. Change the session time in chart 1, and chart 2 also changes its session time. Chart 3's session time is unchanged. #3. Change the session time in chart 2, and chart 1 also changes its session time. Chart 3's session time is unchanged. #4. Change session time in chart 3, charts 1 and 2 are unchanged. Rule number 4 is important. It is the opposite of rule #3. It is only linked by Symbol to the other charts. It has its own session times. Changing its session time should have no impact on any other charts. I want to have its Symbol to be in sync with the other charts, which is why Symbol is checked. The problem is rule number 4 is not implemented correctly. Changing the Session Times in chart 3 does change the Session Times in Charts 1 and 2. In fact, you don't have to change anything, just viewing the Chart Settings in chart 3, and clicking OK changes the sessions times in charts 1 and 2 to be the same as chart 3. Here is my overall definition of how chart linking should work: If you belong to a group you stay in Sync with the group. If you are not in a group you only change yourself, and no one else. Linking by Symbol is one group. Linking by session time is a subgroup. So now do you see why I think this is a bug? What is the point of all the link options if you cannot count on them staying unchanged when another chart, without the same link option, is changed? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-09-01 10:36:30
