Chart Save Template:

The script saves current chart settings to a template with the specified name.

Chart save template

Hello, Brother well done on this script.
Very useful potential.

Would you consider making a update that would auto name template named as current Symbol?
That way it  could be used with a hot-key as a quick save :-)

I am not a coder, but maybe if you post what we must delete and add to the code I could figure it out.

Thank you for considering

Or rather, you can? Example: 'EURUSD', 'EURUSD_H1' ...

I appreciate you responding to me so quickly.

I understood I can now only input name manually.
I would very much like to have a script to read current chart symbol name automatically and use that as input for saving template
For example Ctrl+S on EURUSD and it saves a current open chart analysis as EURUSD.tpl 
As quick save in computer games.

Is there a piece of code I could easily add as a noob that would make it do that?

I am sorry for taking your time, I understand it might sound silly from your perspective.

Hello, your script is great. 

I noticed that the "id=    " in the second row in the saved template is always id=0.


When i save it by hand the template shows for example id= 5654654646513213546546

When i save it with your script, the template shows id=0 in the second row.


Is this important?


Thank you!!!
