I have a day chart which I frequently look at. Is there an indicator or plugin or something that will enable me to have a predefined list of instruments listed at the top of the chart, so that I can quickly scan through instead of using the drop down list. I dont like having multiple tabbed charts open and this way maintains a single window which consumes less resources than maintaining multiple tabbed windows that hardly get looked at . much quicker than the drop down list as well.

Thanks.

I don't know if it's possible in the way you describe it - to me it looks very similar to the tabs view.

Why not have multiple charts - it's even quicker to glance at, no?

Quicker yes, but information overload becomes a problem for me. I need to process things sequentially. Tabbed is an option but this would be a 'nice to have' feature.

Yeah something like that. Thanks.
Ill take a look at the code and see if customisation to take on instruments instead of drawing tools.

I am using the workspace indicator, it allows to switch with a click of the mouse from one workspace to
another. I hardcoded my instruments in the indicator and there are as many buttons on each chart as
workspaces, from any workspace i can jump to any workspace. If you don't find the indicator or need a
screen shot let me know..

Sounds interesting, yes please share your screenshot.

That's where brain plasticity comes in. Sometimes information overload can be an issue for me too, but I reckon the brain learns on its own to discriminate between important info and noise.

Of course it's all part of the learning curve

Please find the screenshot and the indicator
You need to customise it to your work-spaces...

I took your advice. I've loaded pre market analysis up in individual windows to see if it compliments well. They are all higher timeframes so I dont notice every little twitch of the market. I think this might assist with perspective which I tend to lose when watching the hypnotic pull of bleeding edge timeframes like a 500 volume or whatever.
So yeah thanks. Im working on breaking this tendency of jumping to conclusions without first having xplored (see what I did there?) what has been suggested.
Cheers bud.
