Hi,
I'd like to be able to setup a 45 minute chat that I can easily switch between two instruments.
The one problem I have is that LS Boundaries is not behaving as I hoped it would.
If I try to make it instrument as well as chart specific so that I can have an LS boundary customised to a particular instrument it does not remember this and just reverts to a default instance of LS Boundaries with the myboundaries.csv instead of the custom one I renamed for the particular instrument.
It would be great if the right LS Boundaries appeared when swapping between instruments in the same way Reference Lines do
Here is one approach I believe will work well. You can use dynamic tokenized strings inside your file name. For instance, if instead of.
myBoundaries.csv
you use...
myBoundaries_%TICKER.csv
then for @ES# you'll get myBoundaries_@ES#.csv and for @NQ# you'll get myBoundaries_@NQ#.csv.
So as you switch symbols, Boundaries will automatically switch files to reflect the symbol specific file. For even more control (or you're concerned because symbol changes tickers when rollover happens), you cna use instead...
myBoundaries_%T#1.csv
or whatever T# you wish. T# is "Text Variables". You can add the T#1 column to your quotepage, and then enter ES for @ES#, and NQ for @NQ#. The those characters will just be appended to the filename in Boundaries as you switch symbols.
Let me know if that works.
Hi Chad,
I've tried every permutation but no luck whatsoever.
Maybe because I am using the "+" sign in the menu button to do the switching between instruments but really not sure why this just won't work
Thanks for trying
Yes, I'm now seeing some complications with this method. We will get these sorted out for 13.1 beta which will be available soon. Lots of good stuff coming for Boundaries once 13.1 is available including ability to quickly switch between underlying files via a listbox right in the chart. Moving all files from admin folder to rtx/Boundaries/ folder and considering adding an option allow placing files within subdirectories within this directory. And I've tightened up some issues with boundary retention when switching periodicities.
