You can scroll a chart by only a single time period (i.e., day, week, or
month) by holding down the SHIFT key when clicking on a chart's
horizontal scroll buttons.
This can be useful if you want to do what we call "learn as you plot."
By analyzing a chart and then scrolling a chart forward one period at a
time, thereby simulating the passing of time, you can quickly improve
your technical analysis skills.
>>It is helpful to use the histogram or dot as your indicator style
when using learn as you plot.
If you use a standard line style, you will be able to see the direction
the indicator is moving before you scroll to the next period.<<
To automatically scroll through a chart, you can also use the Microsoft
IntelliMouse pointing device. See Using the Microsoft IntelliMouse
Pointing Device for more information on the autoscroll feature of the
IntelliMouse pointing device.
