In TWS Multiple Charts with different products, is there a way to change the time period for all the charts simultaneously?
Copy the tab of your layout, by right clicking on the tab, rename, and then change the time period of all the charts on that page. I have 10 tabs for different time periods with the same markets.
6 different related products of 6 small charts tiled on a screen will be good for me. I think it shouldn't take much more resource than one big full screen chart.
Alternatively click on the infinity symbol (sideways 8) in the top right of a chart. Change the colour on all charts so that they match, then change chart time.
This seems to change every charts to the same product as the source chart's, but won't change the time period simultaneously for all charts. Unless I was not doing the exact way as you described.
I wish IB would add global chart parametr change capability for Multiple Charts with different products, like, time period selection drop down manual or buttons, number of bars increase decrease buttons etc. I saw these features in China financial market software.
Back to method 1 then. Right click on the tab, copy tab, rename, change time interval of each chart, save settings.
