Why Doesn't Color Link Change Chart Trader Account When DOM Account Changes?

[Pipskateer]

If I have a chart and a DOM linked by color, why doesn't the ACCOUNT change on the chart trader when I change the account on the DOM? Is there a setting to enable this to happen?

Hello Pipskateer,

Thanks for posting.

This would be expected behavior as this feature is only for the allowing synchronous changing of instruments in all linked windows. In NinjaTrader 8, there is also a secondary linking for the synchronous changing of intervals between windows.

haha...that's funny!

It's not "expected" by me. I would expect that when the chart and DOM are linked, it would apply to all aspects of what you are trading... not just the instrument, but the account and ATM strategy should all match so you can easily switch from DOM to chart trader. Or there should at least be the option of tick boxing the features you desire to change on linking. That would be intuitive. Can't believe this wasn't implemented the first DAY when someone said "hey...we should have chart linking capablity." But that's just me...

Thanks for the reply.
