What options are available for navigating through charts in a chartbook at timed intervals?

There is not a way to automatically scroll through the charts in a chartbook. There is a "Scan" option that allows you to scan through all symbols or a list of symbols from the Associated Watchlist. Refer to the following: Changing the Symbol of a Chart: Scanning For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

You could try using a keyboard/mouse macro recorder. Maybe setup your layout so all the charts are detached, and have the macro just click one at a time thru them in the windows taskbar? Or do the same thing having tabs for all the chart windows in the main Sierrachart screen and click thru each tab? https://tinytask.net/ Use at your own risk though, using macro recorders is kinda spooky. When your cursor starts doing stuff on it's own it's unsettling, especially with a trading platform open. |
