Conrad,

Edit the code from each pane.... do this by right clicking in each pane and selecting 'edit formula'...

You can specify in AFL exactly how you want something plotted. Likely if you are using the default drag & drop studies (i.e. price or foreign) you will have something like this in each...

_SECTION_BEGIN("Price");
SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);
_N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close %g (%.1f%%) Vol " +WriteVal( V, 1.0 ) +" {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 )) ));
Plot( C, "Close", ParamColor("Color", colorWhite ), styleNoTitle | ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() ); 
_SECTION_END();

_SECTION_BEGIN("Price");
Ticker = ParamStr("Symbol", Name() );
PlotForeign( Ticker, Ticker, ParamColor("Color", colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() ); 
_SECTION_END();

The line GetPriceStyle() causes both panes to be plotted using the style selected in the view menu...

In a nutshell, and I know you were a gfx developer before, it's all about AFL... you can do virtually anything you can imagine but your gonna have to immerse yourself in the AFL manual.

I can get the two tickers split this way, however if I change the style of the chart as you suggest in step 2 below, it changes the style on both the top and bottom ticker. I would like to have candlesticks on the top ticker and line chart on the bottom ticker. How would I go about that?
