New User Questions Regarding Relative Volume Study

Hello,

I'm new to Sierra Charts. I've been able to figure out a lot on my own, but still struggling with the following:

1. I have the code to create my own relative volume study on my chart. However, every time I try to add that file to Sierra Charts it doesn't seem to work. How do I go about creating my own study?

2. I also want to figure out how to setup and name my trades. For example, if I want an automatic stop/loss of 2 points and target of 4 points each time. How do I create this trade setup and label it?

3. How do I zoom out so I can see the rest of the chart? I know how to change time frames and how to adjust the scale, but I want to zoom out and look at multiple days using the 5 or 15 min chart instead of looking at the daily chart. Is there a zoom out button?

4. Today, the market was at the very top right hand corner of my screen. I wanted to adjust my screen and pull the market portion of the chart down to the middle of my screen b/c I couldn't view the numbers above the market or put a sell order in, in case the market went that high. When I used Tradestation, you'd get the "hand" tool out and just move the screen where you wanted it. That didn't work using the hand tool for Sierra Charts. Is there a tool for that?

Thank you in advance for any and all help!
