Chartbooks
Just like a novel is made up of many single pages, a chartbook contains many individual charts. Each chartbook can contain several charts, each individual chart becoming the "pages" of your chartbook. Every time you open Track 'n Trade Live, a blank chartbook named Book1 will open. You can either continue with this new chartbook or open a chartbook that has already been saved.
Opening a Chart
To open a chart, type in the symbol in the Symbol Entry Bar or click on the arrow to the right of the box and select from the dropdown menu. If you do not know the symbol of the market you want to see, select Look Up Keyword for stocks or type in the Forex Market and click Open for Forex.
Opening Multiple Charts
You can open multiple charts and view them at the same time. The charts will automatically adjust to fit into your Chart Window. Opening too many charts can slow down your computer. If you notice slow downs in your system you may want to break up your charts into two chartbooks or more.
To maximize a chart, double-click on the name of the chart in the Control Panel, or select the maximize button on the top right hand corner of the chart.
To restore the chart to full screen view in your chart window with multiple charts open, click on the restore down button on the top right hand corner of the chart.
To minimize a chart, select the minimize button on the top right hand corner of the chart. This will not delete your chart or any notations or tools you have placed on it. It will only eliminate it from your chart window.
To restore your chart, double-click on the name of the chart in the Control Panel charts list.
To close a chart and remove it from your list of charts, click the X on the top right hand corner of your chart. This will delete any notation or technical tool you have drawn on the chart.
Saving Chartbooks
Once you have opened all the charts you would like to save in a Chartbook there are two ways to save it. (1) You can click on the Save button found in the Main Tools, or (2) you can choose File from the Menu Bar and select Save.
To save over or replace a Chartbook that has already been saved, select Save As from the File Menu, and select the chartbook you want to save over.
Printing
To print your Chart Window, select the Print button in your Main Tools, or select Print from the File Menu. To print only one chart, maximize it in your Chart Window, then select print.
