A badly needed feature that customers have requested is the ability to toggle through Alerts in the Chart view without having to click back and forth between the Chart and Alert (Signal) views.
This could be accomplished somewhat non-invasively by adding a Signal's toggle in the Chart toolbar when Signals are present.
1. Combo box to quickly select a specific symbol, and,
2. allows cycling through the list with up/down arrows
3. The arrow controls allow mouse click advance/retrogression
This image is just a mock up for an idea. It needs to be integrated better probably with the Symbol box itself to avoid confusion.

MrHari had an idea that I'd like to piggy-back to this feature request:
/Discussion/Slideshow-of-a-chart-over-a-dataset-6091
I will like to do a slideshow with some delay (example: 5 secs) which will show this same chart for all the symbols in a dataset.
Consequently we need another way to control if we want to step through then entire DataSet or just the Signals.
The previously suggested button design [<] [>] could be augmented with a timer control (1 to 10 seconds) for automatic stepping/stopping.

I've been using the following workaround in WL6 for years as an effective solution.
1) Capture either the Quotes Alerts pane or Quotes main window pane on the Windows clipboard.
2) Have my clipboard extender (I use Clipboard Help & Spell) apply a regexp to convert the above capture into a list of ticker symbols. (I can share my regexp's for those interested.)
3) Paste (overwrite) that symbols list into a watch-list dataset.
4) Step through that watch-list dataset at my leisure with a Chart window.
And it works great! Wouldn't trade without it.

But if one could simply step through the rows of the Quotes window with a Chart window to do exactly the same thing, that would be much less trouble. I vote for this approach.

With the advent of Positions Navigator in B36 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN_5e5bBu5U&t=10s), apparently there's no room for a similar Signals Navigator?
Agree, the Positions Navigator was more popular than this request so it was victorious in claiming this small territory.
Seems like there was enough room to share after all, stay tuned for Build 49!
