Chart Tool Bar

The Chart Toolbar allows quick access to the most commonly used chart features.

To enable, click Toolbars > Chart Toolbar in the main menu.

Most buttons clicked in the Chart Toolbar will affect the most recently accessed Chart window.

EXAMPLE You have 3 chart windows open, and you most recently clicked on Chart #2. When you click the Add/Edit Studies button, it will open for Chart #2. If you want the button you press to affect another chart, click that chart first and then click the button in the toolbar.
The Regular, Snap to, and Best Fit trend lines are the exceptions and can be clicked in the toolbar and applied to any chart in your layout.
Click anywhere in the main menu, and then hover your mouse over a button to see a Tool Tip that says what the button will do.
All the buttons in the Chart Toolbar correspond to a feature also found in the menu of each Chart window.

Customize which icons are displayed on your chart toolbar. Select Toolbars > Customize > Chart Tool Bar from the main menu or right-click on the Chart Tool Bar and select Customize... The Chart Tool Bar customization window will open. You can then select which tools you want displayed on your toolbar.

Use the Add/Remove buttons to move buttons between the Available and Current columns.

Click Close when you are finished customizing your Chart Toolbar.

Moving the Chart Toolbar

The Chart Toolbar can be displayed vertically on the left/right hand side, or the top or bottom of the frame, or it can be removed to be a free-floating window.
