Chart Tool Placement Replication

Optuma General Discussion
1

Good day, I’ve had a search but can’t find an answer to this. I would like to be able to add a horizontal price tool to a particular chart and have it automatically show on all the charts in the workbook. I have done this through other means such as copying the layers but it’s a bit laborious. Is there any way I can set the workbook to have horizontal lines show on all charts when placed on one?

Many thanks
Steve

Hi,

Are the charts using a chart layout? https://help.optuma.com/kb/faq.php?id=599

Static tools like horizontal lines are kept on a per code basis, so if the codes in the workbook are all different they won’t appear. One alternative is to use a Show Plot tool with multiple outputs, it will be treated as a global tool and will appear on all codes.

For example:

plot1 = 5;
plot2 = 10;
plot3 = 15;
plot4 = 20;

This would add Horizontal Lines at 5, 10, 15 and 20 for all codes using the same layout.

Hi,

I actually wanted to do the opposite.

I coded a custom tool that draws customized rectangles (I draw a rectangle and the custom code draws another rectangle automatically) based on the price data specific to each ticker. But because it is a custom tool, it is also a global tool and appears on each chart under the same chart layout.

Is there a way to make this custom tool recognized as a static tool so that each set of customized rectangles drawn by the custom tool is stored for each layout.

Thanks.

Hi,

That’s not currently possible with the Show Plot indicator, there’s no way to override the tool to work as a static tool within the layout.
