What is Symbol Linking?

Symbol linking enables synchronization between the Charts widget and other related widgets. When linked, selecting a symbol in one widget automatically updates the others to display information for the same symbol. This feature improves workflow efficiency and ensures data consistency across your workspace.


How to Link Symbols to Widgets

  1. Enable Linking:

    • Locate the Link Icon or settings menu in the top-right corner of the widget (e.g., Chart, Market Depth).

  2. Assign a Color:

    • Choose a color to represent the link group. Use the same color across all widgets you want to link together.

  3. Synchronize Widgets:

    • When you select a symbol in one widget, all other linked widgets will automatically update to display the corresponding data.


Widgets You Can Link

  • Charts: View price movements for the selected symbol.

  • Market Depth: Monitor the order book for the same symbol.

  • Time & Sales: Analyze recent trades for the symbol in real time.

  • Watchlist: Select symbols to instantly update linked widgets.

  • Orders/Positions: Check active orders or positions associated with the selected symbol.


Pro Tips for Symbol Linking

  • Group related widgets (e.g., Chart, Market Depth, Time & Sales) with the same color to create focused workspaces.

  • Use multiple colors to organize different asset classes or strategies.

  • Regularly verify linked widgets to avoid unintentional mismatches during active trading.


With symbol linking, you can streamline your analysis and trading operations by keeping all relevant data synchronized across widgets.
