Drag this onto a chart and it will copy the template onto all the other charts.
Remember that it will overwrite any chart hosting stuff like MPTM or iHistory etc, so you will need to go to those charts to replace the overwritten contents.
Our grateful thanks to michaeldz for this.

"Copy template to all charts except XAUUSD script" is an adaptation by tomele. Here is his explanation:
Thanks tomele.Hi Steve,
Attached is a little modification for the script. It doesn,t overwrite XAUUSD charts. In the terminals for my Dotty tests I have 10 charts with EAs for the different symbols and some XAUUSD charts with Tradereport/Tradechart for different baskets and periods. Whenever I change something at the EA charts, I use this script to update the others without overwriting the reporting ones. Maybe others find this useful too.

Charts Into Alphabetical Order script
- Load up all the charts you wish to set up.
- Do not bother about changing time frames.
- Set up one chart with your time frame, indicators etc.
- Drag the script on to your chart. It will:
- Copy the template onto all your other charts.
- Change the time frame of all the charts to that of your current one.
- Re-arrange the charts into alphabetical order.
- The script will overwrite any chart hosting stuff like MPTM or iHistory etc, so you will need to go to those charts to replace the overwritten contents.
- The script will only work with the pairs in the PAIRS list. You will have to add any that are not already there.
- Add pair suffixes to all the pairs in the PAIRS list, should your broker have one. Save your changes as a setfile so you do not have to keep making them. Even better, learn to do this by editing the code for yourself as it will make your life infinitely easier once you can do so. Go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... ?f=21&t=64 and download the "How to edit a script code" zip to learn how.
Our vast, epic, huge, colossal thanks to arts for coding this.
Subsequent edit
Something to watch our for when using the script. It copies everything on the current chart. Shelley and I are cooking an EA for her MTF Trading System. The first thing the EA does is draw a line on the chart for a visual representation of the weekly trend. When I used the script to populate all the other charts, this line was copied to them. This made it look as though the ea was drawing lines incorrectly.
So, make sure you check your other charts when you have used the script just in case something is slightly amiss. It is probably a good idea to disable experts whilst setting up your initial chart and only enable them again once you have used the script.

Open Charts in Alphabetical Order Indicator
Another stunner from arts. This would have saved me thousands of hours of faffing around had it been available 8 years ago. Remember to put it in your Indicators folder - explained in the quote.
I have taken this from John's post on page 2:
Wow.I wanted to use some functionality which is not available in scripts, so this has to be an indicator. (There's no issue with this as the last thing it does is delete the original chart its on.)
You should have just one chart open on your terminal set up as you want it and for the timeframe you want. Attach the indicator and you will see a display with 28 pairs which you can easily select/deselect (default all selected) . Once you've done this press 'ok' and it will create charts for the pairs selected in the TF and template of the original chart.
If you would like to see other instruments they can be easily added to the Pairs Array and as someone else has already mentioned, you can change the order of instruments in the Array from alphabetical to any order you want.
