Hello,
In message below, you said to go to view->intraday->one minute. So
I tried to do that, but every option was greyed out. I suspect that
this is because my ESU5-GLOBEX-FUT is no longer showing in the box
labeled "symbols" under "Workspace" which I explained in the rest of
my previous message. I'm not sure why the symbol I typed in
disappeared, but it did. If I tab over to "layouts" or "layers"
or "charts" there are lists of things to click on, but
under "symbols" the entire box is blank. I'm not sure why, but I'm
guessing that this is the first problem I need to solve. Please
explain what to do. Thanks, Taz
