Like to copy only some specific settings between multiple instances.

Have a 4x4 window setup in one instance. How do I transfer just that setup along with the studies included in there to another instance.? pls. see pic
How do I copy JUST the global settings in one instance to another?
How do I copy JUST a chart setting from one instance to another?

Also how do I copy watchlists instead of importing?

Can I save multiple watchlists by segregating each watchlist by a name?

All of this data is contained within the charts in the Chartbooks and you need to copy the Chartbook. Refer to:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Chartbooks.html#CopyChartbook

So you have two basic things, copying of Chartbooks and duplicating charts. For information about duplicating charts, refer to the Chart Menu documentation.


We cannot provide any further help and cannot answer further questions about this. You need to work with Sierra Chart functionality as it exists.

This is the Sierra3.Cfg file. Refer to help topic 15:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=helpdetails15.html

Should be very obvious by using the Export command on the Associated Watch List:
