 Click on the **Input** tab on the Expert options window and you'll see a table with the expert's external parameters you can change.
-**Connection_Id** is the first parameter. It accepts an integer number between 0 and 100000. Connection_Id must be an unique number for each chart. You set the same number also in the FSB Pro connection. The program uses Connection_Id to recognize to which chart to connect. In that way you can connect a single FSB Pro strategy to several charts or several strategies to different charts.
