Linking Components

ProjectX gives you the ability to link components together using a color coding system. You can assign colors to components, and all common links will update at once.

Linking components provides the ability for you to have multiple components all 'linked' to a common symbol; so that when you change your selected symbol in one component (the order ticket for example), the Chart, DOM and Order Ticket all update automatically.

To create a color link with a component, simply click the color link symbol next to each component header. In this example, we are linking our Time and Sales component to the color blue:

This component is now sharing the blue link.

To add a color link to a chart, the process is slightly different than adding a link to a component. Color links in ProjectX charts are done via a special 'indicator', called "Link". To add a color link to a chart simple highlight the chart in question (by clicking it), and then clicking 'Add chart Link' in the top tool bar. Once the you click this, it will add the Link indicator to the chart. Simply expand the indicator list, find the Link and edit the settings to give it the color of your liking:

Note: If you do not see a Link indicator on your chart, make sure and expand the indicator list:

Now that you have component(s) sharing the common Blue color, any time a symbol change is made to one component with that color, all other components will update to show that symbol!
