1. Symbol Lookup

To populate your chart window with the chart of a new ticker:

1. Click the stock ticker box on the very top left of your chart
2. Start typing to populate the symbol search. You can search either ticker or company name.
3. Press enter or choose from the selection.
4. If you do not click anywhere else, you can continue to easily search for another stock ticker without needing to click in the box again.

Remember to review the chart linking section further down on this article (or click here) to learn how to group associated widgets to make this process easier.

2. Timeframe

The time frame selection is right next to your stock ticker bar. 

If you use the star function on a timeframe, it will end up as a shortcut on your top toolbar for easy access. See the example below:

Tip: You can quickly switch timeframes by typing in a numeral compatible with the drop down list, followed by the first letter of the corresponding timeframe. For example: 

For seconds, type 's' after the numeral, then click Enter.
For minutes, type the numeral, then click Enter.
For days, type 'd' after the numeral, then click Enter. 
For weeks, type "w'  after the numeral, then click Enter. 
For months type 'm''  after the numeral, then click Enter.

3. Candlestick Options

Traders normally keep this on the regular "Candles" bar for day trading. We will update this section in the future with further detail.

12. Change Color Group (How to Link Windows)

Using the Color Link feature on the top right of your charts, chatroom, scanners, stock quote windows, or watchlist, you can link your widgets to each other. This can be particularly helpful when switching symbols on a chart connected to your watchlist. This feature also works on pop-out windows and widgets for multi-monitor setups.

You can group your windows by linking them all to the same color group. There are about 9 color options, or "no link" which helps remove a widget from color grouping. The video below demonstrates how to use this feature, and you can also click here to learn more about one way to use the link feature between charts and watch lists.
