Transfer Chart Trader properties to other existing charts.

[robertlaub]

I set properties in Chart Trader such as line color and width in Chart A. I click "preset" and "save". How do I transfer those settings to an existing Chart B? Shouldn't there be options like "save as" and "load as"?

'm guessing that those Chart A settings are stored somewhere in an "xml" file. Can I edit those settings for Chart B? I know workarounds like this are dangerous but I am so frustrated using the GUI to change the properties in 6 other chart windows.

Hello robertlaub,

Thanks for your post.

After selecting 'save', the preset settings are meant to automatically apply to new charts. Not existing charts.

As a quick workaround, you can right-click on a chart tab and duplicate the tab or duplicate to a new chart to quickly copy a chart. You can replace existing charts with your copied charts to duplicate settings.

I don't find your solution very satisfying and almost as bad as simply editing the Chart Trader properties on the GUI.
Please enter a feature request for a "save as" and "load as" feature. Those features are on your indicators and should have also been put on all Properties windows.
