You need to read this -->

Getting Started, Opening Charts and Basic Trading: Connecting to a Data or Trading Service and Opening Charts

It will tell you all the basics to get you started. Bar Types can be selected under the Chart/Chart Settings Menu. Specifically here -->

Getting Started, Opening Charts and Basic Trading: Additional Steps

Studies can be selected by hitting F6 or selecting Analysis/Studies or by right clicking in the body of the chart and selecting Studies.

You can also set custom toolbar controls to change them rapidly but read the Getting Started information first.

Thanks reinstallation worked. For some reason réinstallations was inhibited by virus protection? Had to disable virus protection to reinstall.
I am on a 10 day trial on Sierra with All data feed option. I am able to download historical daily feeds on emini with apparently 20 minutes delay when downloading intraday history data.but this historical data does no update live automatically online unless I re download the history to get an update. Is that the way it should be until I subscribe to a data feed which I’m in the process of doing ?. Thanks again
