From Google Translate:
Okay.
It seems to have loaded correctly now. Many thanks.

However, it takes a very long time to load, especially given that I have quite a few charts (see my workspace in the attachments).
Is there any other method to load all the intraday charts at once?

Also, as was already apparent when I only had part of the chart loaded, the "quick" timeframe switch isn't really quick.

Even before, with only a portion of the chart, it took time to make a "quick" timeframe switch. Now, with the full chart, it takes 28 seconds (I timed it) to switch from a 720-minute chart to a 5-minute one. In other words, if I select the 720-minute chart from my main charts and click the "quick" switch button for 5 minutes on the top control bar, it takes half a minute to load. This is completely impractical, as it's something I do constantly—dozens, or even hundreds of times a day.

Perhaps I'm not using the quick timeframe switch correctly. What I need is to be able to switch from a 720-minute chart to a 60-minute, 5-minute, or 6-day chart quickly, while preserving all the graphic elements—Fibonacci levels, lines, text, etc.—that were on the original main chart or drawn on one of the secondary charts. I *have* managed to achieve this with the "quick" switch—meaning everything works the way I want it to, except for the fact that the switch takes a very long time.

Is there some other similar function, like linked charts or something similar? Something where a change in one chart is reflected in the other without the wait?

The thing is, if I switch from 720 minutes to 5 minutes using the tabs at the bottom—next to the time axis, which I call "my main charts"—the switch is instantaneous, with no waiting.

Thanks again.

The "Fast Changing" option, as it is called in our documentation at the following link:
Changing Chart Bars Period: Fast Changing by Keyboard

Is not called "Fast" because the data will load fast, just that it is fast to do using just the keyboard.

In the end, the amount of time it takes to load a chart is going to depend on the storage time unit of the data and how much data is loaded in the chart.

Since you have your data going all the way back to 2007, you have a lot of data, and this is why you are having it take nearly 30 seconds to load a chart when you change the timeframe.

The solution is to use multiple charts already set to the individual timeframes you want. It sounds like you have already setup this up somewhat.

Drawings can be copied between charts then. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Copy Chart Drawings from Chart #'s (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu)

We do not know what else you may be wanting to keep the same, but refer to the Linking options at the following link:
