This video provides some tips on switching between feeds, and will be especially valuable for futures traders (for whom the symbols are different between feeds).
This video demonstrates how to add, edit, delete, and manipulate technical indicators in Investor/RT. This video is especially valuable for new users but experienced users may also pick up a few new tools and shortcuts in this short video.
This video covers techniques to manage your data mostly focusing on intra-day data and tick data. This is an important concept in Investor/RT. If you keep your historical data to a minimum, the program will run much more efficiently.
