Sync Drawings Across Linked Charts & Lock Drawings
17 Feb 2019, 07:39


Let's say I have two charts open, both on different time frames (one on 4hr and another on 1hr) and have them both linked by using the letter A assignment for both charts and the active symbol panel (thus linking all of these to any symbol I select). While we are at it; syncing the crosshair between linked charts is also preferable.

Why not use this method to also sync the drawings? Now we have to perform 2 of the same drawing actions (let's say drawing a horizontal line) on both of the charts we have open for the same symbol but each at different time intervals..

And to add to this: It also would be very preferable and convenient if we were able to lock drawn in items like lines, rectangles etc. to prevent from having them moved around.

I totally agree with this! When 2 graphs are linked, the drawings must be found at the same time on these 2 graphs.
And I will also say that the entire drawing system needs to be reviewed, add predefined personalized drawings like in prorealtime, add the Z-index to be able to draw behind the candles, add drawings of arrows, triangles, points, squares, etc.
Thank you, and I'm sure the developers of this excellent platform will do the right thing!
