    Hello,

    This is somewhat silly question which I'm working around but is kind of annoying:
    When I have Options position in Portfolio, I can click on it and see chart of options price. That is good. But I like to alternate between underlying stock price chart and options price to get between picture. I tend to keep separate watch-list with stocks I sold options against and I can click on watch-list item or of course enter stock ticker manually in chart. But it's get little tedious to update watch-list if options come and go relatively frequently.

    Does anyone know if there is some kind of shortcut, button to click to be able to switch between option price chart and it's underlying stock chart?

    You could arrange the mosaic to help.
    Have 2 charts with separate colour chain link, or have tiny watchlist or quote panel, as well as the option chain, all linked to the chart/s and change chart just by clicking on underlying in list, or the option you are looking at in the option chain windows.

    Play around with those mosaic chain links.

    Thanks for replay. I know about chain link feature, creating new small watchlist and new chart and adjusting layout is a good idea. The problem is that I would still need to maintain that additional watchlist of stocks. Not such a big deal just would be very convenient by single clicking option quote to be be able jump to underlying stock chart without maintaining additional watchlist.
