Each pane in a multi-pane chart has a chart element menu that is accessed by clicking a hot spot located at the top center of the pane. Click (or right-click) the hot spot and a menu of the elements in the pane appears. The visible instruments and indicators in the menu are checkmarked. Elements listed without a checkmark are presently hidden. Each chart element has its own submenu for selecting, editing, deleting, or revising the visibility state of the element.

For many years, Investor/RT has supported the Trading Notes indicator as a means of viewing entry and exit points of trading activity. When fills occur, Investor/RT automatically adds a trading note to the database for the instrument/symbol. The Trading Notes indicator when present in a chart of that symbol, fetches the trading notes and draws notations at each price/time where a buy or sell occurred. Trading notes are collected in the database when using the built-in trading simulator or when using a brokerage trading account.
Investor/RT 15.1.6 and higher have configuration settings that may be of interest to RT users who have many monitors and wish to specify the particular display on which the main Investor/RT window (called the Task Window) should appear. Some RT users have little need for this main task window other than to provide a window in which the main toolbar can be anchored. A feature of the main toolbar introduced in 15.1.6 may be of interest in this case and is discussed below.
