Running out of options on IB Charting solutions

Quote from OldTrader:

Maybe I don't understand the problem. I currently use Ensign on a 3 monitor setup. I have various charts fed by IB on different monitors. What am I missing?

Are you able to feed chart data from your IB portfolio? For example: When you click on a ticker in your Monitor-1 (IB Portfolio) does it load the Ensign chart in Monitor-2?
If yes, I am eager to know how you did it.
What configurations did you set in IB and/or Ensig to acomplish that?

Thanks.

No, I can't click on a ticker in TWS, and get a chart on Ensign. But I can set up quote pages in Ensign with my portfolio tickers, and then click on those when I want a chart. Or run a chart on one of the monitors which is fed by the IB data.

I didn't understand from your question that you wanted to click on a TWS symbol to get a chart. (That sounds like what you want to do). Frankly, that would make no difference to me at all. I really don't look at TWS most of the time. I look at quote pages, charts, and I also use ButtonTrader for order entry, which I have displayed.
