How to link Trade and Current Quote Symbol?

I usually chart minis but trade micros. So, under Chart Settings > Symbol, I e.g. have "Symbol" set to "ES" but "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" to "MES" (along with the option "Use As Trade Only Symbol" set to "Yes"). I linked my charts (via Chart > Linking > Symbol) because I wanted an easy way to change the symbol simultaneously in all my charts. However, I noticed that the Chart Linking > Symbol option doesn't help me here, since it only changes the "Symbol", but not the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol". E.g., when I change the symbol from ES to NQ, I still have to open every single chart in my chartbook and manually change the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" from MES to MNQ. This makes the Chart Linking > Symbol option rather pointless (at least in this scenario). Is there any (other) way to link the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" as well together with the actual charted symbol? |

In the Linking there is a separate option for "Trade/Quote Symbol". Make sure this is also set to "Yes" for linked charts in order to update that item.

Thank you very much for the fast response, John. I completely overlooked this setting (because I expected it to be located at the top of the list next to the Symbol option). Mea culpa! However, unless I'm missing something else, I think I found a bug in SC: I have two charts: chart A and chart B. Both are linked and the options "Symbol" and "Trade/Quote Symbol" are both enabled under Linking. When I change the trade and current quote symbol in chart A, it's properly updated in chart B as well. But: Some of the Symbol Settings (under Chart Settings >> Symbol) in chart B are not updated correspondingly. I noticed that specifically the "Currency Value Per Tick" setting is not updated unless I manually open the Chart Settings of chart B and click on "Apply Global Symbol Settings". Could that be a bug in SC, or am I missing something here? |
