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.

• 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.

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.

You can also right click and hide any you dont want. You only have to do this once, then right click, select 'Sets' and 'save as'.... You can create any number of different sets and then copy them across any other instances of Empty4 you use.

Thanks for all that you do. I have been reading your forum for quite awhile now, and I just wanted to say thanks.

Just FYI, the Alphabetical Script had EURGPB rather than EURGBP. I made the change and attached it for you.

Thanks Again.

would it be possible to add the option to create a magic number for each chart using the Alphabetical Script?
If the input "= 0" then no magic number is created. If the input is i.e. "=4000" a magic number is created for each chart (4000, 4010, 4020, etc).
That would make life a bit easier if one does not use MPTM.

Cheers
Stefan
