Style templates

[rob200]

If I:

1. create an advanced chart for a stock (MKS-LON)
2. add an indicator (MACD)
3. save a style template (macd-template.ach)

and then:

4. create an advanced chart for a different stock (FPL-LON)
5. load the style template (macd-template.ach)
6. save the advanced chart (fpl-lon.ach)

Am I crazy to expect that when I re-open fpl-lon.ach it will still be a chart of FPL-LON with the MACD indicator from the style template?

Currently if I re-open fpl-lon.ach it'll be a chart of MKS-LON with the MACD indicator.

Whatever symbol was used to create the template is being saved to the file, even though when I saved the chart in step 6 it was a chart of FPL-LON.

Any ideas?

I don't know if that is the intended behavior. Anyhow, if you first apply the Style Template and then load the symbol and save the chart the next time you re-open the chart it will load the last saved symbol.
Hope this helps

Thanks Alexis. You are correct that manually typing the symbol causes the file to save correctly, but this must be a bug, because to the humble user the chart is showing the correct symbol at the time of saving.

I think it must be related to a previous post (http://forum.esignalcentral.com/show...threadid=17021) of a similar bug. In the same way, manually typing the symbol after creating a chart from the quote window allows the file to be saved properly.

Looks like something is broken in the advanced chart saving routines

Thanks again for the tip
