I have subscribed package 5, and would like to know on how to set chart loading data automatically.
Furthermore, the time zone is different from my location and would like to know on how to adjust the time zone also.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Referring to following link, I cannot find any related information on how data would be automatically updating when opening a chart.
I have opened a chart, but the latest data is 17 Jun, 2016 at 21:29.

Furthermore, after defining all setting for study, I would like to set this setting as default, so whenever I open any chart, this study's setting would automatically apply for all charts.

DO you have any suggestions?
Thanks you very much for any suggestions

What is the symbol of the chart that is not updating?

Symbol : ESM16 and the latest date is 17 Jun, 2016 at 21:29

Since I have edited the study for symbol ESM16 for my preference, when I open chart for symbol ESU16, how to apply those study's setting from ESM16 into ESU16? without setting everything from scratch.

On the other hands, I have IB account, do I need to setup Sierra Chart with my IB account information in order to access real-time data? If yes, how to do the setting?

Do you have any suggestions?

I successfully load real-time data, but I get the issue on fonts size,

For the image Font2.jpg, I open an original chartbook, the font size looks fine, but
For the image Font.jpg, I use the same chartbook and just change the symbol and save as another name, the font looks too small.

Furthermore, I would like to change the background color to be light grey.

Do you have any suggestions?

We do not recommend using the Numbers Bars study on an Interactive Brokers cash Forex symbol. That is why it does not look correct and the numbers are overlapping and inaccurate.
