Anything that is located on a Multi-Pane chart is referred to as an "element" in the MarketDelta® software.

  • To edit a chart element's properties, click the edit Chart Element icon on the chart toolbar. See this link to know what this icon looks like.  If not present, right click chart and choose Show Toolbar. Select the chart element to be edited from the list. When modifications are complete, save the chart using File | Save or press CRTL+S.
  • You may also edit a chart element's properties by right-clicking on the chart element in the chart window. For example, if you wish to change the properties of a moving average, aim the tip of the mouse pointer at the moving average and right-click. Usually, the property settings window for the chart element appears. If you right-click in the chart and "miss" the element, MarketDelta® will provide a list of elements from which to choose.
  • Another method is to simply click on the element. If MarketDelta® recognizes which element you clicked on, the line will become highlighted to indicate it is selected. Press the Delete key to delete the element or press the enter key to edit the properties of the selected element.
  • Yet another way is to just double click the chart background and the edit element window will appear and allow you to change chart or modify chart.
