Charts
a. Add the ability to group charts in a tab. Or possibly allow a window to be inserted as a tab.
This is possible already. More info about docking is provided here:

b. Allowing the user to separate widgets/charts. I love the flexibility of adding multiple charts to a window. The issue I have is that sometimes when the edges of charts align, they "lock" in a vertical or horizontal line and resizing one chart resizes the other chart(s). Please create a way that one can "decouple" charts and allow a user to resize individual charts (this go for all widgets).
I doubt this would be useful as there would be an empty space between widgets then, if I understood you correctly.

c. I think the linking function will be very useful. It would be nice to have more than three groups (9 - 12 would be perfect).
Will do later.
Trading4Pips wrote:
d. Allow one to link more than one item at a time. This perhaps could be accomplished by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on a number of headers that you want to link and then choose link.
Good idea. Something similar can be done now if you open several widgets inside one container (Dock), double click on header to tab all of them, right click to open context menu and choose "Link all tabs"

e. Allow one to change their SL and/or PL by dragging and dropping the SL and PL on a chart to a new price.
Possible already if you double click the order line and then drag&drop it. However, one needs to confirm the level before the changes are being sent to server.
Trading4Pips wrote:
f. Allow for the auto-resizing of the bars within a chart. Perhaps by right clicking a chart and choosing "auto resize".
I did not understand this one. You can "lock" chart by the max/min price data by pressing a special button in the toolbar.
Trading4Pips wrote:
g. Allow a user to highlight an area on a chart to zoom in on that area.
It is possible with a special button "Zoom selection".

Windows / Templatea. Provide the ability to "lock-in" a custom layout. For example, currently I can setup chart in a custom layout. However, when I Restore Down the Window (the button to the left of the close button in the top right corner), the program changes the layout of the Window. Furthermore, when I maximize the Window, the charts are not in the same layout as I placed them (the bigger charts are made smaller, while the smaller charts have extended further left then I had wanted).
Will do most probably.
Trading4Pips wrote:
b. Provide the ability to make Windows a little more independent. For example, allow a user to choose a separate platform theme or font size for each Window / Template.
Will not do with the global platform theme and font size. This would make the user interface too complex.
However, we believe this can be done on each widget level. Some widgets like "Instant order" have customizable size and colours in context menu properties already.

c. When a Window is resized, have the widgets resize automatically in portion to how they are setup. The resizing appears to work to a point and then the resizing just covers up the Widgets.
Will improve the resizing later.

Drawing Toolsa. Expand the Hotkeys settings to allow one to assign drawing tools, fibonacci and even indicators to Hotkeys.
Indicators can be drag&dropped from favorites list in Navigator. Will try introducing hotkeys later.
Trading4Pips wrote:
b. Might it be possible to allow a user to set Presets on the drawing tools and the fibonacci tools like you now offer on the indicators? The new preset feature is one that I really like and think it is a great addition. For example, I like to place a number of differently colored fibonacci retracements on my chart. It would be really helpful if I could modify these on the charts with Presets.
It is possible with some objects like <i>Percent lines</i> and <i>Fibonacci retracements</i> already. Open context menu and choose "Edit levels".
Trading4Pips wrote:
c. Allow a user to duplicate drawing tools. For example, I normally set all of my support lines in green and my resistance lines in red. It would be nice if I could duplicate the horizontal line and set one as green and one as red. (Currently I have to edit each line that I place on my chart).
Double click to select the line and right click to open the conetext menu. Choose "clone". Will add Ctrl + drag&drop later.
Trading4Pips wrote:
d. Allow one to continue to use a drawing tool until it is turned off. It would be great if I could turn on my green horizontal line tool and have the program continue to place a green line each time I clicked on the chart. (Currently it appears that I have to click on the drawing tool each time before I can put a drawing tool on the chart.)
I do not know how to do that exactly as there are even more situations when user needs the object be drawn only once.
Trading4Pips wrote:
e. Allow the user to add drawing tools and indicators as menu buttons. Rather than always having to click on drop-down to choose a drawing tool or an indicator, it would be nice to assign the tool/indicator to a short-cut key and/or add it as a button on top of a chart (i.e. like the Price and Time Marker buttons).
Would be too many buttons.
Trading4Pips wrote:
f. Add a Custom choice to the color menu of the Drawing Tools (like you have for the indicators).
We have them already. Double click to select the object. Right click to open the menu.

Market OverviewI really like the enhancements to the Market Watch and the flexibility to change each Instant Order.
a. It would be nice to have the ability to minimize each Instant Order. In other words, I don't necessarily want to delete the pair, but just minimize it.
Minimizing the widget inside the window sounds too complex. Use tabs instead maybe.
Trading4Pips wrote:
Navigatora. Allow one to copy indicators between charts by dragging and dropping the indicators (currently it appears that I can only drag and drop indicators from the Indicator Folder to a chart.)
Will try.

General
[list]a. Allow one to expand a tab or widget to full screen by double clicking on the tab/header.
It is possible already inside the container (dock). Will add fullscreen mode for each of the widgets with F1 if selected or context menu.
Trading4Pips wrote:
b. Allow the user to change the order of the menu buttons over a chart and the menu with template manager, new template, etc.
Do not see it very useful.
Trading4Pips wrote:
c. In a drop-down, allow one to search for a pair.
d. If searching in a drop-down is not possible, could you set it up that we can jump to a pair by pressing the first letter of the pair? For example, if I am on EUR/USD and I want to go to USD/JPY, all I should have to do is continue to press "U" until I arrive at USD/JPY.
Grouped list of instruments and auto-complete is on the list of new features already.

f. When the Small Icon with Text is chosen under Menu Design, please include the text as part of the button. Currently you have to press directly on the button.
I do not find this way of buttons layout very useful. Maybe we will get rid of that layout at some point.
Trading4Pips wrote:
g. Standardize the ability to right click anywhere within a widget to bring up the context menu. This works well in the Instant Order and Conditional Order widgets, but nothing happens when you right click in the Market Depth or on a Chart.
Will do where it is possible. Charts have several different kind of context menus already, for example.

h. Allow one to open multiple workspaces.
Workspace contains the account settings. Open other platform instance if you need that.
Opening several worskpace templates (layout of the widgets) in different windows (frames) is possible already.

i. Please move the header minimize / maximize arrow. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have accidentally closed a widget because I have clicked the close button by accident as soon as the widget header opened up. Might it be possible to also make the arrow bigger or create an easier way to minimize and maximize the header?
Done in 4.07. Widget header is shown as tab in case it is a single widget as well. It makes closing several tabs more convenient now.
