Irby: hope it's OK to butt in.... right click on the box (the chart itself) then left click on setup is the fastest way I know. Also I see John Tara has a proprietary MACD RSI crossover deal...an interesting concept. I use two charts for short term trades, one 3 min and one 2 min, same stock. I put the MACD and a 14 period RSI on both charts (on the bottom). Both charts also have the S&P (no ocillators) in a different color (on the top,same as the stock) . Both go back 2 days, so I get a good feel in the morning. I use the combination of the S&P, the 3min MACD and RSI, and the 2min MACD and RSI to give me a signal. I used to use just the 3 min but in the last 3 months it was giving me false signals so I tightened it up with the 2 min. works pretty well if you follow rule #1; (never trade against the S&P) and rule #2, (never break Rule #1).

No, there is no fast way to shift from a 10 minute chart to a 60 minute, etc. I'm afraid that's just not a good way to use RT3. It's better just to set up one of each, and drag whatever stock of interest into each. The best way to use RT3 is to set up a layout that you like and leave it alone. I find that I only need one 60 minute bar chart and one daily bar chart. Any time I'm looking at something on this long a scale, it's good enough to look at one stock at a time. Otherwise, I use tick (actually, time & sales, as described above) charts.
