How to add various lines to an intraday chart

There are two indicators that will accomplish this: Session Statistics (SESST) and Mixed Periodicity Data (MPD). Session Statistics, a more reliable and efficient method, will be discussed first. One thing to keep in mind when deciding between the two methods is that MPD uses the daily bars while SESST uses the actual intraday data.

How do I place a box or note on a chart which shows the current value of some technical indicator?

You can do this currently with an "Info Box"...having it show only One Pane's indicator values...and pointing it to the pane number that contains the WPR indicator. However, you can't currently hide the line that shows the date/time. This might be an option we could add to Info Box for the next release, giving you the ability to easily show only one indicators values as large as you want in a one line text box.

Copy and paste Indicators (including Buttons) from one chart to another

Copy/Paste Functionality

To move or copy an indicator or button from one chart to another, use standard copy/paste commands. Right click the indicator or button and choose copy. Then go to another chart window, right-click in a destination pane and choose "Paste". Macintosh users will use Command-C and Command-V for copy/paste shortcuts, and Control-Click for right-clicking with a single-button mouse.

Is it possible to copy and paste a Button indicator from one chart to another?

Yes. Right-click on a button, and choose either Cut or Copy from the popup menu. Both Cut and Copy will copy the button setup to the clipboard. Cut has the additional affect of removing the button from the pane in which it presently resides. Then go to another chart window or to another pane in the same chart window, right-click in the pane and choose "Paste".

How can I access Market Indices like the TICK.Z, TRIN, ADD, VIX, TYX, TNX, PREM etc.

Access to Market Breadth Indices and other Statistics like the TICK.Z, TRIN, ADD, VIX, TYX, TNX, PREM etc., are available at an additional cost if you are using DTN IQfeed or ESignal for real time data. To add these to your account, you will have to contact them directly.
