I use several watchlist for different charts in the same chartbook. E.g when i have 3 of them, i cannot exactly see which one is to which chart.
Is it possible to attach watchlist window to chart so it will take some space of "chart window" so it would look like screen at the attachment ?

Regards

We recommend using a Control Bar that has the "Watch List" option added to it. Then whichever chart is active will only display the Watch List from that chart.

Or, if you have detached charts, then turn on that Control Bar (or make a new one that is not already in use and just has the Watch List on it) for each detached chart and again, you will only see the Watch List for that chart.

Refer to the following regarding adding the Watch List to a Control Bar:

You can open multiple Watch List windows, one for each chart. But there is not a way to organize them so you only see one that is associated with a specific chart at that time. Nor is there a way to "attach" these windows to a chart.

When you are scanning symbols in a watch list, the time for each symbol update is the "Chart Update Interval". It should not matter how you have the Watch List displayed (or if you have it displayed at all). We just tried doing a Scan with various Chart Update Intervals (300, 1000, 5000) with the control bar watch list displayed, and we do not see anything running slow or different.

Are you doing something other than selecting "Chart >> Enable Continuous Scanning" and then "Chart >> Start Scan"?

No, i did only scann of whole associated watchlist. It wasn't even "continous scanning"

So you were using the +/- keys, or were you selecting the symbols from the control bar watch list?

what was slow? The loading time, the selection time, something else?

Steps:
I have Watchlist for NASDAQ symbols based of Sierra Symbols.
I set Only symbol from watchlist
I run scann.

a) Sierra without control bar with watchlist -> scanning is runing fast "i am not able to even see whole chart,
b) Sierra with controlbar8 and watchlist set as special item for this control bar ->scann is slower, i am able to see every single chart that is loaded into chart.
