A month with 30 bars means 1 day per bar and a year with 80 bars would 4 days per bar (giving ~90 bars). To do each of these follow these instructions: - 1 Month: -- Set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Chart Data Type" to "Historical Chart". Select the "A" button to the right of the entry after selecting this to update the window after making this selection. -- Set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Days to Load for Historical Chart Type: to be at least "30" -- Set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Historical Chart Bar Period Type" to be "Days". -- Set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Historical Chart Days Per Bar" to be "1". Do the same as above for another chart to get 1 year by setting the number of days to load to be at least 365 and then set the "Historical Chart Days Per Bar" to be "4". Since you are wanting header information that is different from what is displayed (i.e. you want it to state "Month" for a months worth of data, not a month per bar), you would need to add text to each chart to get this. You can do this by using the Drawing Tool for "Stationary Text".
