Bistrader --
I rarely use Param() --
However, I believe that if the Param() statements are outside and before the plot() statements that they will effect the three charts equally.  But if this isn't so, you might explicitly try declaring the arrays that you are setting equal to Param() as Global.  Again, I am not sure.  You will have to try it.

I also believe that, whatever Param() statements you put inside the
if(GetChartID()==chartID + 1){ }, will effect that pane only.

Got it and thanks. I will do it now. I am hoping that I can right click on first chart, change parameters and see all 3 charts change as I move parameter bars around.
