I'm not talking about changing the 'symbol'... I'm talking about changing the interval.
Speaking from my own perspective, symbol lock was a great feature because it stopped charts changing 'symbols' erroneously. Which is something that happened frequently to me when moving between floating windows & non-floating windows. However, if in stopping that erroneous behavior I now can't interval link charts, that creates a major problem... for obvious reasons. I have 8 interval linked charts. 4 floating. 4 non floating. It's vital that they are interval linked. It's also vital that they don't change symbols erroneously. I'm not sure I see the logic or advantage of 'symbol lock' disabling interval link....?? --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <gro...@...> wrote: > > It is not a bug.
