I'm trying to sync trade windows of the same product between multiple DOMs in multiple chartbooks. I guess you could think of it as setting global variables for everything pertaining to the current symbol, regardless of whatever chartbook it is in. I have different chartbooks for different scenarios, and quite often I will change quantity on one DOM, switch chartbooks, and then forget to change the quantity on the new DOM, in the new chartbook, on the same product. I'm trying to see if there is a way to sync this across every DOM for each product. What would be the best way about doing this? Writing an indicator and attaching it to every instance of a product's DOM across multiple chartbooks? Looking to see if something in built-into Sierra Chart but not having much luck at the moment (no big deal, just thought I'd ask). Thank you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-07-22 04:06:26

There is a linking option for the Trade Window, but this only works within a single chartbook, it does not work across chartbooks. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Chart Linking >> Trade Window (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Linking menu) There is nothing built-in that will synchronize trade windows between chartbooks. The only way to do this would be through a custom study where you write out the information from one chartbook and read it into another. Refer to the following: ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.TradeWindowOrderQuantity https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartStudyAndSystemProgrammers.php For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Not automatic, but you can simplify it. I would save a Trade Window Config file and open it in all the Trade Windows. Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using and Changing Between Different Trade Window and Attached Orders Configurations While it doesn't automatically keep them in sync, you can add control bar buttons to reload them after a config file change is saved. |

Thank you for taking the time to respond, however I decided to simply my approach and condense everything into one chartbook. Take care. |
