QCharts - SingleQuote Window

This article provides an overview for using the SingleQuote Window in QCharts.

Opening a SingleQuote Window
There are three ways a user can open a SingleQuote Window.  The first way is shown below by selecting file from the main menu and clicking new, SingleQuote.



The second way to open a SingleQuote Window is by right clicking a symbol on a quote sheet and selecting New=>SingleQuote.



The last way is by using the shortcut button at the top of QCharts



Changing a Symbol
To change the symbol that is displayed in the SingleQuote Window, click on the symbol box in the upper left hand corner of QCharts, type the symbol and then press the 'Enter' key.

The Symbol Synchronize Button 
The symbol synchronize button is located in the top right hand corner of the SingleQuote Window.  This feature allows you to link the SingleQuote Window to your quote sheet and all other windows in your Workspace.  Once the symbol link has been activated, a symbol change in one window will be automatically reflected in all of windows that have been linked.

Button Colors
