Please evaluate and pass on to them (I am going to post a number of these – some might be old, and may possibly even be in v10.3 already).

Hi All,
Something that I believe would be a great addition to PRT, would be synchronised scrolling of charts across different timeframes and instruments.
For example:
* If you have daily, hourly, and 15 minute charts open for a specific instrument, it should be possible to click on any price point within any of the charts, and for the other charts to automatically scroll to that point in time. This would make analysis over different timeframes so much quicker and easier.
* This would also be great for scrolling charts based on different instruments. For example, what did the local market do yesterday when the Dow was down? Or, what was the Rand/Dollar doing while the market was coming down? What was equity 1 doing while equity 2 was going up two weeks ago? I know you can setup “compared securities” on a single chart, but that is not what I am talking about. What I am refering to is being able to pick a chart and then click on a specific point in time, and for all other (participating) charts to scroll to the same date & time; irrespective of the timeframe or instrument being displayed on the chart.
Does this make sense?
Anyone else see value in this?
PS: The option could/would probaby be set set per chart (whether it should scroll or not); similar to how linking works currently.
PSS: Currently this is so much of a pain, that I would in fact change charting packages just for this feature.
