If a dollar sign is present on the left, it means the chart contains live intraday data from the data feed. The number after this is the military time of the last data value. Press Esc to cancel the live data feed. This permits you to analyze the chart, using trend lines and such, without the chart changing as data comes in.

Price Type. The data Internet site may not always give reliable values for the tick size. For example, look at spx.x, and you will see values like 1440. Download new data, and you may see values like 650, with the shape of the data the same! You can manually override this, and the new value is stored in the table. Choose Price Type, and select the correct value by clicking. Actually, this is not important now, as price types are now decimal.
