lol ...  No problem. What I want is a specific symbol preselected per chart page. The rest of the charts on this page are all derived AddToComposite data and forced to display only those with Foreign AFL function. So by design, they show the same thing no matter what ticker is chosen for the main price display. All I want is when I select the tab, the main price chart is for the predetermined symbol which matches the indicators on the page. e.g. I have a layout for McClellan indicators. Let us say I have 3 chart pages each with 3 panes. Tab 1 is DJI. Pane 1 is DJI prices. Pane 2: DJ McClellan Breadth Oscillator. Pane 3: is DJ Breadth Summation Index. Tab 2 is RUT and so on. This way, all I need is to select the tab to review DJI and RUT without also having to select the ticker and never have mismatched charts. Watchlist or favorite list will not do the job.

Geo,

 

I am a newbie with the software so go easy on me as I am trying to understand what you are looking to accomplish. 

 

Are you trying to provide a quick and easy way to access certain symbols?   Have you thought of using a watch list or the favorites?

 

Or are you trying to show the price of a stock as compared to the ^DJI?

 

Dave

I had tried this. However I needed to create a layout for each ticker. More cumbersome than just selecting the ticker for the correct combination. If it can be done via AFL or script, then I can have 10 or more tabs each fixed to one ticker. And save this as one special layout for this application.

Save “^DJI” chart window as a layout. Each time you load this layout it will use ”^DJI” as the default ticker and any studies previously charted and saved to the Sheet/Layout.

Is there a way to automatically select a ticker from AFL? I would like to fix the price chart display in a given pane to say ^DJI. I can force the display by using SetForeign. However, AB still uses the currently active ticker to store studies I create in the indicators in that chart page. So this does not work for me. I need an equivalent to selecting a ticker from the Symbols list.
