Gary:

To add the features you want, go to the composite page options and tab for layout (I assume you've been there to select scheme 4). At the bottom of the popup you are working in there will be four pull/drop down buttons for different features that will allow you to select tabs for both Area 1 and Area 2. If you have a feature active in one area, I don't think you can duplicate it in the other area.

My set up is Scheme 2. In Area 1 I have a Minute Chart (set to 5 min interval with various indicators), a Tick Chart (with only MAs set), a Daily Chart (with other indicators set) and Profile. In Area 2 I have only Time and Sales displayed. However most of the time I keep the Quotes page enlarged as I've set it up to display last quote, change, vol, % change, size, last size, bid. ask. spread. daily low and daily high, etc. (this is why I like it spread across the top). A poor man's Level II screen, sortof. I also have separate (stand alone) Tick charts and 5 Minute and 1 Minute charts set on tabs separate from the composite page that I use to monitor stocks on active watch.

This works for me, though I'd really like to not have to point/click swap so much. Someday, multiple 21" monitors are in my future - and an Apian card and Real Tick III or CyberTrader, and ..... (The list is endless, but Imost of all I need a faster connection out here in the country.) Hope this helps. Anyone else have good setups and/or indicators, or trading strategies that they have found work? I use WOW end of day to do my real TA, but intra day it is nice to do a quick take on a stock with IT.

Peace and Justice --- Patrick

Gary, go to Options - Composite page - Layout, now your concern on a bottom of layout tab - area 2. Pushing on pull down menus(push a little black triangle) you can select up to four tabs four this field, don't forget to click OK after selection completed. In addition you can change almost every aspect of how your field looks: color, font including it's color and size, the way data presented on the chart, background of the chart.
Rightclicking on the field with chart brings: general, add indicator and remove indicator. General you use to change look and to see or change indicators parameters, rigtclicking on the Quote field enable you to add or remove issues and also you can change names for tabs. Hope this helps, don't hesitate to ask more.
Regards, Michael.
