Chart Window Toolbar

Near the top of Neovest's Chart window is a horizontal row of icons that is referred to in Neovest as the Chart window toolbar.

Icons in the Chart window toolbar are designed to let you access a Neovest feature or window with a single click and are essentially comprised of three types of charting tools that let you (1) utilize different types of mouse pointers, (2) draw trend lines, and (3) manipulate the symbol data in an open Neovest Chart window.

The following table describes the function of each icon in Neovest's Chart window toolbar but does not explain in detail the features or windows associated with certain icons. As questions arise concerning any of the features or windows discussed in the following table, refer to the "Chart" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation for further assistance.

Feature:	Description:
Link/Unlink Window	Lets you link or unlink a Chart window to or from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen. All open Neovest windows that are linked will load the same symbol; therefore, if you double-click on a symbol displayed in an open Neovest QuoteWatch window, then a Chart window will automatically load the same symbol. As you click on the "Link Window" icon, the image of the link will change to appear either intact or broken. If the link appears intact, then a Chart window is linked to other Neovest windows that are open on your screen; if it appears broken, then it is not linked. Note: For information regarding linking a Chart window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel, refer to the proceeding "All" instructions in this table.
All	Lets you choose to link a Chart window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel. Neovest provides 20 different channels to which you may link windows. For instance, you may choose to link two open Neovest windows to channel "1," which will cause the two windows and any other windows that are linked to "All" to automatically load the same symbol. All other open Neovest windows that are not linked to "All" or to channel "1" will not load the same symbol. Note: For information regarding why you may wish to link and unlink a Chart window to and from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen, refer to the preceding "Link/Unlink Window" instructions in this table.
Status Cursor	Changes the selecting mouse cursor to the status mouse cursor, which lets you click with the left mouse button anywhere in an open Chart window or Chart pane to display timely price and other calculated data relevant to the entered symbol and each loaded technical indicator.
Selecting Cursor	Changes the status mouse cursor to the selecting mouse cursor, which lets you adjust a drawn extended, truncated, or Fibonacci trend line to the high, low, open, and close prices of Chart data in an open Chart window or Chart pane. Using this feature, you may also reposition either end of a drawn trend line, move an entire drawn trend line, and delete a single drawn trend line. For more information regarding how you may utilize this feature in connection with trend lines in a Chart window, refer to the "Trend Lines" section in the "Chart" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation.
Extended Trend Line	Lets you draw an extended trend line in an open Chart window or Chart pane. The process of drawing an extended trend line is simple: Once you have selected this feature, click and hold with the left mouse button at the point in the Chart window or Chart pane where you wish to begin the extended trend line, drag the cursor to where you wish to end the trend line, and release the left mouse button.
Truncated Trend Line	Lets you draw a truncated trend line in an open Chart window or Chart pane. The process of drawing a truncated trend line is simple: Once you have selected this feature, click and hold with the left mouse button at the point in the Chart window or Chart pane where you wish to begin the truncated trend line, drag the cursor to where you wish to end the trend line, and release the left mouse button.
Fibonacci trend Line	Lets you draw a Fibonacci trend line in an open Chart window or Chart pane. The process of drawing a Fibonacci trend line is simple: Once you have selected this feature, click and hold with the left mouse button at the point in the Chart window or Chart pane where you wish to begin the Fibonacci trend line, drag the cursor to where you wish to end the trend line, and release the left mouse button.
Symbol Overlay	Lets you add a second symbol to an open Chart window, thus allowing you to compare the current and historical trading activity of two different symbols over the course of the same time period.
Expand Chart	Expands the symbol data in an open Chart window by removing symbol data.
Condense Chart	Condenses the symbol data in an open Chart window by adding symbol data.
