Copy and paste Indicators (including Buttons) from one chart to another

Copy/Paste Functionality

To move or copy an indicator or button from one chart to another, use standard copy/paste commands. Right click the indicator or button and choose copy. Then go to another chart window, right-click in a destination pane and choose "Paste". Macintosh users will use Command-C and Command-V for copy/paste shortcuts, and Control-Click for right-clicking with a single-button mouse.

Drag and Drop

Technical Indicators can be dragged from one pane to another and even one chart to another. When the indicator is dropped, you can either drop it in an existing pane, or drop it on top of any pane title bar to add the indicator to a brand new pane. Buttons can not be dragged and dropped because many button setups operate from a single click down such as Menu style buttons. To move buttons, right click to copy and then paste into the pane of your choice. Then just delete the original button if you no longer want it.

Selecting Indicators

If your chart contains many indicators, it may be difficult to select an indicator with your mouse. In cases like these, press the Tab Key repeatedly to select each chart element one at a time. The selected element in the chart will be highlighted. When you get to the element you wish to select, stop pressing Tab and instead, right click the chart and choose Copy.
