Is there an easy way to toggle between charts

[patpat]

I trade with 2 charts on one monitor. If I want to look at the other chart, I go to the task bar and hover on the Ninja Trader icon, which then displays all the open windows along the bottom of my screen (control center, chart 1, chart 2, and the Super Dom), and I click on the other chart to make it come up. I would prefer if there was an easier way to access the second chart. A toggle switch, so the speak. Is there?

Hello,

Thanks for your note.

Outside of putting these charts in separate workspaces and using the default "Next Workspace" HotKey to toggle the open workspaces, this would not be possible. However, I an absolutely add this as a feature request to be considered as a potential add-on in future releases.

BackColor

Hi,

is there a way to draw sort of BackColor Horizontzal Line??

I want to draw and keep a DrawLine object in the region where all drawing objects are removed,so the line draws and immediately removes.But,the vertical Line,using BackColor method,is there.

So,is there a workaround to draw ''BackColor Horizontal Line''??

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

One note on your original question, to quickly switch between two windows in Microsoft Windows, you can use the following keyboard commands:

Hold ALT and press Tab to cycle forward through open applications.
Hold ALT and press SHIFT + TAB to cycle backwards through open programs.

For your second question,

Can you please provide additional details on this portion of your question:

I want to draw and keep a DrawLine object in the region where all drawing objects are removed,

You can create indicators that Draw any of the Drawing Objects you use on the chart, with some clarification I would be able to assist in providing what information you may need to accomplish this.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you, I will try that technique for toggling between two windows. The other question wasn't mine. It was someone who hijacked my thread.

I tried the ALT + TAB, and the ALT Shift+TAB. It works for windows. (e.g., Yahoo email and Facebook). But for whatever reason it doesn't work for charts. I closed out the Yahoo and Facebook windows, and only had my control center and two charts running. But the technique didn't work. I can hook up a second monitor. But having already tried it, I don't like having to watch 2 monitors. It's easier to watch both charts on the same monitor. Perhaps I will try the workspace idea that Drew has.

ALT + TAB certainly works for me with charts (using Windows 7).

Keep your thumb pressed down on ALT and use the TAB to toggle.

In W7 & 8, you can use the Windows key (the one between CTRL and ALT) and TAB for another view of your open windows.

Thanks, I was doing it wrong. I was pressing Control and Tab. When I pressed Alt and Tab I was able to scroll through all my open windows. However, when I pressed the Windows key and Tab, nothing happened. Figures.

Ungroup your task bar. Then each will have an chart is on the task bar.

Right click the task bar...in a clean area... choose properties...
then the taskbar options... probably combine when full will suffice your situation, else use NEVER combine.

(you can always auto hide taskbar, and make it bigger).

(windows 7... not sure what happens after that).

That's a great help... to uncombine the task bar. Never knew that was possible. So much easier than hovering over the Ninja Trader icon waiting for the charts to come up.
