Select the same tab simultaneously in all charts

[kevinfloresz]

Hello, I have two screens in my workspace, as shown in the images attached. In screen 1, I have a 5 min chart, a 15 min chart & a 60 min chart and in screen 2 I have a 3 min chart (my trigger chart). All charts have 6 instruments in the same order (ES - NQ - GC - CL - NG - HG). Is there a way to switch tabs simultaneously in all the four charts when I click on any tab from any chart? For example, If I click the second tab in the 5 min chart (NQ), all of the other charts show me also the second tab ??

Hello kevinfloresz,

Thank you for your note.

It would not currently be possible to sync chart tabs in this way but I have submitted your inquiry to our development team as a feature request.

Please let us know if we may assist further.

Thanks Bruce! Here is a quick direct link to my products in NT's Ecosystem..

Autotab can be found at the very bottom..

I'm hoping to release an update after the holidays that also includes a workspace changer as well..

Edge/HiTech - sure would be nice if you also added hotkey abiliity to select tab#1, tab#2 etc and assign a hotkey to each tab. Thanks.

Interesting Concept and Like the Idea!
Added a WorkSpace Changer to Last Update!

Will look into incorporating Hot Keys for Both!

Edge, when using the Auto Tab Linking add-on, do you also have a solution to the Chart Trader /ATM Strategy problem? (same Chart Trader /ATM Strategy configuration applies to all tabs in one chart, not separately to each different instrument tab in chart and Instrument Linked tabs in multiple charts)

For example, a workspace consists of four chart windows, with six tabs in each. The chart windows and tabs are organized so each chart window is for a different periodicity (e.g. 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 60 min), and each tab is for a different instrument (e.g. ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC). So, in each of the four chart windows, those six instrument tabs are in that order, and each instrument's four tabs of different time periods are linked by Instrument Link color. With this arrangement, all four periods of any one of six instruments can be visible at the same time. And with your Auto Tab Linking add-on, clicking on any instrument tab changes instruments in all charts simultaneously. So that's all good, but different instruments require different Chart Trader /ATM Strategy configurations, and as NT8 functions now, unless I'm missing something, Chart Trader /ATM Strategies apply to a chart window and all its tabs regardless of instrument differences, not to each different instrument tab separately. This is a significant problem, and makes an efficient workspace with Auto Tab Linking impractical to use with Chart Trader /ATM Strategies.

Ideally, the Chart Trader would have a selector to either Apply to Chart (applicable to all contained tabs - the existing functionality) or Apply to Instrument (separately applicable to each different instrument tab within the chart, and to all Instrument Linked tabs in other charts). This product improvement suggestion, or something close to it, was submitted to NT in 2018 (SFT-2060), and I don't know status. I thought you might have run into this Chart Trader /ATM Strategy problem with workspaces built for Auto Tab Linking.

@Lancer

No Sorry, I've never really looked into that..
Don't care to open ChartTrader.. Chart Space!..
Designed WS around this limitation from start..

As you can see here in pic of 4k sample workspace..

https://www.screencast.com/t/A9bz3GjahbH

I tend to use the Dom.. (also linked by AutoTab)..
The open Dom has 4 Tabs.. they switch w/charts..

or Buttons I've designed for various methodologies..
Indicator Buttons.. coded with UnManaged Approach..
limit/market/mit w/associated exits (Some ATM too)..

This way I can adjust ALL orders thru chart/dom/script..
and don't have to mess with the nuances of a strategy..

But because of the so many variables involved w/AutoTab..
More in the timing of each resource being loaded on change,
Not sure I would want to attempt this within AutoTab itself..
(currently extremely stable!.. prefer not messing w/that!)

Another way to possibly accomplish this would be...
Start with designing a button to place on chart..
then code button click to change ATM in ChartTrader..
Could possibly even use an associated dropdown list,
or even design a whole toolstrip full of buttons..

Just a thought... Best of Luck!
