Chart linking to selected instrument in Market Watch

Select an instrument and all charts on the active profile update to reflect the symbol while all other chart configurations remain intact.

Does something like this exist for MT?

This should be fairly easy to implement using a script.

http://docs.mql4.com/chart_operations/chartnext

Those seem to be the correct calls. How would they be triggered on instrument select in Market Watch?

Is it some intercept on OS level? Can it be done within MT without coding DLLs?

I suppose you can somehow go there (probably a lot of work)

Alternatives I can think of:

1. Change the symbol of the first chart to what you want the symbol to be and grab it http://docs.mql4.com/chart_operations/symbolwindow
2. Create a script for every symbol you might use and bind a different hotkey.
3. You can look into ChartEvents. There is a chart event which gets trigered once you change the symbol. http://docs.mql4.com/basis/function/events#onchartevent

With hotkey binding this is only a matter of 1 click and because of that I wouldn't try to find a workaround.
