Feedback on the new Chart Synchronization (Data Range) feature from the 33rd release:

For multi-timeframe backtesting (e.g. running 1H, 15M, and 1M windows on the same pair side by side), each timeframe needs a different zoom/visible range to show a usable number of candles — the 1H window naturally needs to be zoomed out further than the 1M window. Before this update, I could set each window's zoom independently, which is how most multi-timeframe traders work.

Now, since zoom is tied to Data Range sync, adjusting one window pushes the others out of their correct zoom level too, so I have to keep re-adjusting every window after every zoom change. That makes multi-timeframe backtesting a lot more tedious than it was.

Quick disclaimer — I looked around but couldn't find a setting to disable this myself, so apologies if I've just missed it somewhere. If there's already a way to turn it off or work around it, I'd love to know.

If not, request: please add a way to disable Data Range synchronization independently, similar to how Sync Crosshair got its own on/off toggle in this same release. Ideally either a global on/off for chart sync, or the ability to exclude specific windows from being synced.

Happy to give more detail if useful — this is a core part of my backtesting workflow (multi-timeframe analysis on the same pair).

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi @Isaac Garcia! Thanks for following up - no problem.

    I’m glad you found the solution and that it worked for your setup.
    If you’d like, I can also delete this post. Just let me know and I’ll remove it.

    Never mind — I saw another user, "1 jun," had the same issue, and one of the devs/moderators posted a solution that fixed it for me too. Wish there was a way to delete this post, lol.
