1) "... the only way to have different timeframes on the same ticker is to change them on the fly ..."
Not exactly. After you follow instructions from my previous post you will have two or more charts of the same symbol with different hours. Now just save what you created as a "layout" (Qcharts calls it "workspace", SierraChart calls it "chartbook"). You will find layouts here:
Alt+V - S - "layout" tab - r-click (to see save commands)
To open a layout just d-click on its name.
Happy New Year
