Moving in the chart

Top  Previous  Next

You move around by using the arrow keys or the mouse. Alt Left Arrow and Alt Right Arrow move by 10 bars. Ctrl p moves to the previous pivot, and Ctrl n moves to the next pivot. Page Up and PageDown move to different screens. End moves to the last bar, and Home to the first. ^Home moves to the first bar on the page, and ^End to the last bar on the page.

 

Display|Mouse. If this is checked, mouse movements change the select bar. Shut this off when doing a day at a time.

 

Display|Move Screen. If this is checked, the entire screen moves (pans) as the selection changes.

 

Moving to the left end of the screen is special if Move Screen is not checked. Left arrow will pan the screen 10 bars as it moves over one. Alt Left arrow pans the screen half.

 

You can move to any bar by using the mouse; however, due to the calculations behind the screen drawing, sometimes the response is slow, resulting with the selection bar not being exactly where the mouse is. You can stop this by unchecking Display|Mouse. Unchecking it means the cursor will not move when the mouse moves. Useful if you want to save the screen as a pdf file.

 

You can also select a date by GoTo|Calendar. There are two choices: One is a monthly calendar, that you choose the date by moving the arrows (Combo Box), and the other is one where you merely type in the date. This latter is good if you want to select a date a few years ago.
