Hi,
There is a trick not to see slopes of indicators beyond the last day, though
pretty clumsy. Type a vertical line symbol "|" on a chart as a text. Make it big
choosing font size as large as 40-50. Then steer it (it's a hard part) to the
edge of the chart so that it covers the space you don't want to see. In Text
Property box unselect Anchor to Date. Save it as a template.
It may not hold if you resize the window. So not an ideal solution, but for me it
worked. Certainly, the best way to go would be one-click operation to advance 1
day in Data Loading. Are you with us on it, Equis?
Cheers, Vitaly
