Upon right-clicking the Chart Window, you will see the following menu.

How do I use the Cursor Tracking and Data Window function?
The Cursor Tracking and the Data Window features are meant to be used at the same time. These features will allow you to determine the price of a stock, including the Open, High, Low and Close anywhere in the stocks history.
Price Scale
This option allows you to set your scale to Auto Scale or Log scale. you can also turn on the Remember V-scale Preferences feature.
What is the purpose of the Auto Scale feature?
The Auto Scale feature is used to format the price action of a stock that has had enough volatility so that the price action is beyond the upper and lower limits of the chart window. This feature will reformat the price action in such a way that no matter the volatility, the entire chart history will be displayed on the chart.
What does "Remember V-Scale Preferences" do?
The "Remember V-Scale Preferences" feature will recall the y or vertical scale attributes of a specific stock chart that was previously viewed.
Studies
This option allows you to add/edit a study on your Chart Window.
Lines
This option allows you to edit lines or remove lines from the Chart Window.
Notes
This option allows you to add/edit notes on a Chart Window. Notes can be added to a Chart Window to remind you of certain events in a stocks history. This feature can be used to note buy and sell signals or any information that the user deems relevant to that specific security. To save space within the chart window, once the note has been entered, it can be minimized to a smaller format and then moved anywhere within the chart window.
Export
There are two options you can export. The first option is Data, this will allow you to export the data out of the Chart Window and save it as three file types .prn, .csv and .txt. The second option is Image, which will allow you to save a screenshot of the Chart Window.

. Single click once to select the starting point and drag your cursor to the end point and single click again.
Changing the interval on a Chart Window
Changing the interval of a chart window can be done in a number of ways besides pulling down the list and picking one:
Arrow Keys
Click on the interval box of the Expression Toolbar and then change intervals with the up and down arrow keys.
Custom Intervals
Any time a chart window is selected, a typed number will appear in the interval box; press enter to change the interval to that number of minutes. Custom intervals are listed at the bottom of the interval pull-down menu.
Symbol and Interval
When a Chart Window is selected, any letter you type will appear in the symbol box. When you finish typing the symbol, type a comma to move the cursor to the interval box, where you may type an interval at the same time. Numbers are for minute intervals, and the first letter of Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly will suffice. For example: ICE,10 will specify ten-minute intervals of ICE, and ICE,M will specify a monthly interval.
How do you zoom in and out on a Chart?
To zoom in and out on a chart, hold down the left mouse button on the time/date (x-axis) of the chart and drag left to zoom out and right to zoom in. The same can be done for price scale (y-axis).
