    Unfortunately this is not possible. However, you can send a created list to a Market Analyzer window (quote sheet) and link this to a chart so that each time you change the selected instrument row in the Market Analyzer window, the linked chart will update.

    Thank you for your reply. That sounds pretty close.
    1)If the linked chart is configured with a few moving averages and some pivot points could a trader select from the created list of a few dozen symbols and click from item 1, to 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. and the chart will reflect the changes from symbol1, to symbol2 ...?
    2)Can a list be imported into Market Analyzer window?
    3)How long would a couple dozen Daily symbols data take to download into the Mkt Alzr?
    4)How long to populate the chart after clicking on a symbol in the Mkt Alzr list?
    5)Could a dozen open charts get data from a single 12 symbol Mkt Alzr list, each chart from a different line of Mkt Alzr?
    6)Can charts be assigned to a particular 'location' number on the list? e.g. If Mkt Alzr is to hold a dozen symbols, could the first symbol automatically go to chart 1, second symbol to chart 2, etc.?
    7)Could symbols be imported to replace those in an already populated Mkt Alzr window in the circumstances of number 6 above?
    8)Can a template of number 5 above be used to set up multiple workbooks each of a single Mkt Alzr window? ...multiple Mkt Alzr windows per workbook?

    Which data feed do you want to use, IB or the something else? Using IB´s datafeed is a pain.
    It takes so much time to get a backfill. Using kinetick might be the better choice but it´s pricey.

    1. Yes
    2. Yes
    3. If you are referring to chart data, they are loaded into the chart when an instrument is selected in the Market Analyzer. Loading data can be dependent on the market data provider, but using our free provided Kinetick EOD, its a split second
    4. See 3
    5. No
    6. No
    7. N/A
    8. You can have multiple workspaces with different Market Analyzer windows and charts. You can also have multiple Market Analyzer windows in one workspace each with a different link to a different chart.
