Detachable Charts

Chart tabs can be detached from the StreetSmart.com interface enabling you to keep certain charts in view while you use other tabs within the software. If you close or log off StreetSmart.com with charts detached, the charts will still be detached when you log back on.

To detach a chart: Click on the chart tab and drag the chart to the location you wish to display it, including even moving to it to a secondary monitor. You can also right-click in the chart and select Detach Chart, then drag the detached chart window to a new location.

To reattach a chart: Use any of the following methods:

Click the title bar of the chart and drag it back to the original chart tab position in the StreetSmart.com window. It will snap back into place.
Right-click on the chart and select Reattach Chart.
In the StreetSmart.com space where the chart was removed, click the Reattach Panel link.
Click the X close button in the upper right corner of the detached chart window.

TIP: If you can't find your detached charts on your desktop, click Find Panel in the empty tab where the chart was removed.
