Re: [amibroker] How to name a window

Hi

My reason for opening two windows is as follows:

I trade 4-5 systems ,among which one is an automated system (AFL + IBController) . The autotrade is controlled by an indicator in one sheet of a window. I am accustomed to have setups for different systems in seperate sheets of the window, thus one sheet for one system. But I found if I am running the autotrade, then I have to always make the autotrade sheet the active one, if the autotrade sheet lose focus, the autotrade will pause, until I make the sheet active again. Since I have to switch between different sheets, I found it impossible to autotrade , if I put the autotrade sheet and other system sheets in the same window.  However, if I open two windows and put the autotrade sheet in a different window (than other system sheets' window) , and make autotrade sheet as the active sheet in its own window, then I can enable autotrade as well as browsing the other system setups in the other window.

So I have two windows open on my workspace, and I need to give each window a name, one is "autotrade", the other is "other systems", is it possible ?

Or even if not in my situation, I still find it will be convenient to be able to name windows. For example,if I have one window running 1m charts and the 2nd window running 5m charts of the same symbol, it will be easier for me if I can tell from the window name which is which.

  Hello,

  You can't change the name because it is security name (which is the same in case of linked windows).

  I don't see the reason why you setup two windows to see only one at a time (because you have them maximized) 
  when you can switch between intervals easily using
  toolbar - it consumes less system resources.

  Linked windows make sense IF you are watching them both at the same time (they are not maximized).

  Best regards,

    I have two linked windows, one is 1-minute, one is 5-minute chart.  Please see the attached image. Now the two windows are of the same name, I want to name them seperately by the timeframe, is it possible ?
