bistrader,
If I were going to approach this problem of wanting to have the same
afl in each pane, with parameters shared by all, then the approach I
would use would be to structure the parameter code like below (tested):
It does not matter what your chart ID is. Just insert x many panes
buy double clicking on the formula. Pull up the parameter window for
the price pane first and set it to Price, then do the same with the
others, selecting which data to plot. Finally pull up the param
window of the price pane again and you can control all panes from that
one window.
Best regards,
Dennis
