The charts have loaded but they are not updating? 
Charts have to be updated manually. Once the initial chart has loaded, a manual refresh will be required to see any new updates in the chart.  Once a refresh occurs, a timer will activate preventing any additional refreshes from being made (refresh icon will be grayed out) until 5 minutes have passed.  Please keep in mind that even after a refresh, the normal exchange rules for delayed data still apply.

To refresh a chart, press the F5 key on your keyboard, or click the first window icon on the title bar and select Refresh.

 
 
How do I update prices in the Quote window?
Prices will automatically update every 5 minutes. No manual refresh is needed, unlike for charts.
