Hi,

I have several charts for the same symbol across 3 instances. What is the best way to replay all the charts in all the instances simultaneously. I know i can just add all the charts to one instance and replay all the charts. The issue is i want to spread them out across 3 different instances for performance reason and to work with multiple monitors setup.

Thank you in advance.

There is no way within Sierra Chart to accomplish this automatically. Maybe you could do something with ACSIL since ACSIL does have full control over chart replays now.

You should be able to accomplish this using autohotkey and create a macro that starts all three instances. You could also create other macros that pause, etc.

Hope this helps,

Hi John,
Could you please tell in more detail how it could be accomplished?

In AHK, you can select to activate a specific window (app instance), then send it a sequence of keystrokes and/or mouse movements. you then assign this macro to a keyboard shortcut. Sooo... identifiy instance 1, switch to it, then do stuff. identify instance 2, switch to it..do stuff.. etc

Hope this helps.

Yes, it will be able to do what you want. There may be a 1 second difference in the instances, but all of that depends on how fast your computer is and how much stuff you have running. All of what I described is coded within one macro you would create. In some of the ones I have created I needed to put a delay of 200ms, between parts to allow Win10/SC to do what I wanted. You need to invest some time and write a short macro, just to identify each instance and switch between them. I would also suggest you add a delay between switching instances, so you can see it actually happening, or play a sound or something,

Hope this helps.
