Hello

I have created a layout which displays a share being view in 3 different ways - each in a window of its own. Window 1 shows candlesticks, EMA and a buy/sell adviser, Window 2 shows the GMMA and window 3 shows bars, stop loss, profit taking.

I wanted to know if Metastock allows you to save this style (multiple windows within the main screen) as your default template so that when i open a new stock to view it shows me the stock in the 3 different viewings.

I have tried but all i get is the one window that was selected at the time of going through the steps of creating a template.

If not, what is the best way of setting up your screen to display this image or is creating an individual layout for each stock you want to view the only way. I am happy to attach a sample if required. I have read where you can create shortcuts too??

Hi Roy

I have previously deleted MSSmart Charts but they seem to keep coming back and this was a very time consuming task as the system would only allow me to delete individually. What is the purpose of deleting these? I ran a search and ended up 26 files but the system won't allow me to delete them - I get a dialogue box coming up with the message "Cannont delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk". I ran a search from the Start Menu.

I think the only way to get the 3 viewings/windows of the same security on the screen is to create a new layout for each one I want to view. I don't think Metastock allows you to have multiple windows and then try and save it as a template.

Excitement plus!!! I have worked out how to get my preferred screen how i want it. Set the screen up with the 3 layouts - saved as a template - then created a custom button. Now when i open the chart of a new share all i have to do is click on the custom icon, named 'preferred template' and my screen displays the image of the 3 layouts. Just wonderful!! have a smile from ear to ear. Perserverance is the key.
