Blocks questions:
 
-In EOD, can monthly, weekly, daily, charts be linked?
-For realtime, can daily, hourly, and minute charts be linked?
-How many different sets of linked charts can be displayed at once?
-With a set of linked charts, say daily, hourly, 5 minute on XOM, can the related oil index be shown and if so, what time frames of the oil index charts are available?
-Can we show the Nasdaq TICK chart? NYSE TICK chart?
-With a premium service, are earnings dates given and can they be sorted by dates and AM/PM release times?
 
Regards,
Jeff

I'm not sure what you mean by "linked". It is possible to have multiple Panes in the same Chart with different Time Frames so that the Scroll and Zoom is the same. It is possible to have multiple Charts with different Time Frames that all use the Main Symbol (or Symbols that can be definitively derived from that Symbol such as Industry or Sub-Industry), but the Scroll and Zoom will not be the same. There is no limit other than the power of your computer and your screen real estate to the number of Panes or Charts that can be displayed at once.

While earnings dates can be gleaned using Comtex NewsBuzz Powered by Blocks, earnings dates are not currently directly available as data for Blocks.

Bruce,

By linked I meant when the symbol is changed on one chart, the related charts will change to the new symbol as well. Nnjatrader, Esignal and Tradestation use different colors that link charts together. 

How are they linked in Blocks?  Perhaps different instances of Blocks need to be running to show more than one set of linked charts?

Regards,
Jeff

By default, charts added to the layout are all linked to the active symbol in the main watchlist. So if you change the symbol in the list, all charts will change to that symbol.
