Changing Vertical Scale Increment with Watchlist Symbol Change

I have been using a watchlist now to change some charts between symbols, vs. keeping separate chartbooks open for different instruments. I've checked & unchecked the box for 'vertical scale' under linking, & it doesn't work as I was hoping it would.

For example, if I switch from ES to CL, the scale increment remains .25. In the ES (original chart), I do have .25 as the value in 'scale increment'. I would like change to .01 for CL when I change symbol. Is there a way to effect this?

Thank you,

Ben

The only way to do what you want would be to create a custom study. Refer to the information starting here:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction

The best way to handle what you are doing is to not set the Scale Increment. This way the scale will automatically determine the best values based on the Tick Size of the symbol and the range of the data (depending on what Scaling type you are using).
