Technical Indicator Scope

Prior to Version 5.2, every technical indicator added to a chart is specific to that chart window. Every chart window in Investor/RT is a "template". That is, you can switch a different instrument into any chart and all of the technical indicators within the chart are automatically associated with the new instrument. In Version 5.2 we have considerably expanded the flexibility of technical indicators by enabling them to be designated either as "instrument specific indicators" or "all chart indicators" (or both).
