I currently have 4 different charts displayed on my main screen all within the same chartbook. Each chart is displaying a different ticker symbol.I would like to create a "master" watchlist where I can change the symbol of any "activated" chart to a symbol in this watchlist without changing the symbols of the other charts. For eample, say I have Goog, AAPL, MEta, nvda, tsla, and AMZN in my watchlist. The charts currently display AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, and META. I would like to click on the AAPL chart to "activate" it, then click on AMZN in my watchlist to have AMZN replace AAPL into the chart.

The "Associated Watchlist" option does exactly what you are stating. Refer to the following: Changing the Symbol of a Chart: Using the Associated Watch List Note the paragraph at the bottom of the above section that talks about adding a Control Bar item for the Watchlist, so you can easily select the symbol you want. Also, be aware of the information on the rest of the page above for how to change a symbol - you may find one of those easier (particularly changing from the keyboard): For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

So struggling with using one master watch list for all charts. When I activate one of the 4 charts in the chartbook in order to change its ticker using the "Master" watch list, the watchlist will change to that chart's watchlist instead of being controlled by the master watchlist? How can I "eliminate" each chart's watchlist and have them link and be controlled by just one master watchlist so that when I "activate" any one chart, I can change its ticker to a ticker in the master watchlist? The only difference in the linking between the charts is that the master chart has "yes" under "Master Mode" checked Thx Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-09-30 12:13:24

Also, is there any way to link the "Add" button on the watchlist panel to a keyboard key so that I can just hit say the key "Enter" to add a ticker into the watchlist rather than having to click the "add" button each time? This may seem like a mundane request, but it would save very valuable time when trying to enter a position quickly. Thx

Sierra Chart does not have a "Master" watchlist. Each chart has its own watchlist, which is what you are seeing. There is, however, an option within Linking to link the Associated Watch Lists, so they will all have the same list of symbols. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Chart Linking >> Symbol List (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Linking menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
