"List Chart" Module – Watchlist Linked to Charts with Custom Scanner Columns
Description:
I would like to request a new module, for example called "List Chart". It would let users load a predefined instrument list, such as a favorites list or watchlist, directly inside one module.
**How it should work:**
- The instrument list is shown in a panel on the left side of the module.
- One or more charts are placed to the right of the list and linked to it.
- When I select an instrument in the list, all linked charts switch to that instrument automatically.
- Users can create, save and load several instrument lists.
**Custom columns:**
- Users can add extra columns to the instrument list.
- Each column can load a scanner indicator, another ATAS module or a custom script and show its result for every instrument in the list.
- The whole list can be sorted by any of these columns, ascending or descending.
- Users can color cells or rows by the column value, for example green above a threshold and red below it, to spot important values immediately.
Multi-timeframe scanning:
- Each column can have its own timeframe, for example M5, H1, H4, daily or weekly.
- The indicator or script in that column is calculated on the selected timeframe, and the column shows the result for that timeframe.
- Users can add the same indicator several times with different timeframes, for example a trend indicator on daily, H1 and M15 side by side.
- This makes it possible to check multi-timeframe conditions for the whole list at a glance, without switching chart timeframes manually.
**Automatic live sorting:**
- Users can set one column as the primary sort column, based on what matters most to them.
- The list re-sorts itself automatically in real time whenever the values in that column change.
- Example: I have a list of my favorite stocks and add a gap scanner column. At market open, the stock with the biggest gap should always appear at the top of the list automatically, so I never have to search for it.
- This turns the list into a live scanner that always shows the most relevant instruments first.
**Benefit:**
Traders can click through many instruments quickly and see the current price action of each one without opening, linking or switching charts by hand. With custom columns, color highlighting and automatic sorting, the list ranks instruments by the user's own criteria in real time. This saves a lot of time in daily market preparation and helps traders react faster at market open.
**Optional ideas:**
- Keyboard navigation (arrow keys) to move through the list
- Each instrument in the list shows the current price and daily change
- Different timeframes for the linked charts, for example daily, H1 and M5 side by side
Thank you for considering this feature!
