    Is it possible to have the indicators previously applied to a chart be restored when the chart is re-opened?

    For example, I open a new chart for a stock. I applied some indicators. Later I closed it.
    When I create a new chart for that stock again, I noticed the indicators that I previously applied do not re-appear.
    The strange things are that I noticed that there are already some indicators which I previously used being applied to the chart. I can’t recall what I did to have these indicators auto add.

    Go File > Save as Template1 after you attached the Indicators and then when you open that same Template1 your preferred Indicators will be show on the Chart.

    What GraHal said. Additonally, when you just quit the platform or leave it open so after 18 hours it self-closes, then your changes will have vanished.
    I don’t think I like “that feature” at all.

    After you applied what GraHal advised, you can quickly click the main menu and use Ctrl-s to save changes in your latest assigned Template (Template1 in the example).

    Thks for the feedback.

    I am aware of the  ‘File/save as template .  File/Save templates is to  keep your platform’s layout and options. You can make several different templates if you like to use different layouts.

    The following elements are saved in templates:

    • size and position of windows (charts, order books, lists…)
    • indicators displayed and their properties
    • columns displayed in lists
    • options in the “tempalte options” seciton of the menu

    So when you open the template which you earlier saved, all the windows are restored. This is  a ‘overkill’.
    After I some research, I found template chart is closest to what I want.

    After you designate a chart as template chart, new chart opened will have the same indicators applied.
    But still I thk it would be nice for Prorealtime to ‘memorize’ the settins of a chart when closed and by default when open new chart. apply the indicators. many other charting software operate this way.

    Thks for your help.

    PRT does do above … depending on what Template the Chart was saved in / under.

    If we login to the Platform and go Display > New Chart then the new chart will open in the same Template as we closed Platform and so will display the same Indicators that we used when we closed Platform.

    I mostly use the same Template with my preferred Indicators on 3 charts.  I do have other Templates mostly centred around other Indicators.

    When I want a 4th Chart, I right click > duplicate, this 4th chart then shows same Indicators as other 3, then I change Instrument.

    I guess you do / need something vastly different from above?

    Huh ?

    I don’t know what it is, but you ask for things which work throughout. 🙂
    (but probably can’t find your ways yet)

    Umm, that is what I told you in the other topic, right ? But I also told that this is a so powerful tool that it really requires getting used to.

    I think your “workflow” can change a little. What I mean to say is : you should not close charts at all, but have one “main” template environment that always loads all you want – with of course the same indicators.
    In my case when I click from whatever List, always the same three charts load for the instrument involved. Each has its own time frame and each has its own indicators. I can show an example of the list, not the resulting charts (too much fuss).

    Notice (below) that Link icon again. These ones are grey for both Lists. Also notice that about each window in PRT has such an icon. You can assign a link color to a. any List and b. that group of charts (or one only) with the instruments and everything (?!) you like. Try it ?
    Really, I never close windows which serve the purpose of analysis (the last one I asked for just stays). I may overwrite them with other windows, though.
    If I like to open 20 windows with views from different angles, I give them all the same link color and they open all 20 when I click a list with the same link color. I can, of course, also briefly change the link color of a list, so I can open another group of charts, or different indicators.

    Because each Chart actually has a search box (didn’t you complain about that yesterday or so ?) I can give a random Chart again a Link color and from there open new Chart with dedicated instruments after searching for them. Thus, have 4 Charts on screen each with a different Link color, and each will show the instruments differently (per your own set up of a first Chart). See 2nd attachment where I quickly created that. But do notice that when I click a “Shell” in there, it will appear in the prepared Chart(s) with a green Link icon. Thus, a prepared one (containing an instrument from the previous search) replaces the instrument with the “Shell” I choose.

    Have fun !
