seems this does only work for the current symbol, does it? I did right now delete the symbol I had there and selected bar chart. opend new chart that was opened with OHLC again. ?

I'd expect this global setting option to be available in global settings. Can you update the documentation to at least specify that the "Save Days to Load, Intraday Bar Period, Graph Draw Type as Default" is present under the "Chart Data" tab?

The help topic 20 has disappeared. Can I set the default graph type somewhere? I want new charts always to be candlesticks. Thank you.

Can I set the default graph type somewhere? this has supposedly been answered; however, if i follow "Chart Settings: Save Days to Load, Intraday Bar Period, Graph Draw Type as Default (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data menu)", setting bar-period->chart type (to candlestick) then try to test it like so 1) find symbol 2) open intraday chart [this to create a new chart] 3) the result is OHLC chart draw type I can only conclude this documentation is incorrect... please correct or show what I have done wrong. Yes, I can save it correctly into a chartbook, so don't answer that question again. if your software can't do this yet then just say so.

This does work. What you need to do is to set the a chart the way you want it and then with that chart active select Chart >> Chart Settings and set the option for Chart Data >> Save Days to Load, Intraday Bar Period, Graph Draw Type as Default to Yes, then select OK to accept the changes and close the Chart Settings window. At this point, those settings (Days to Load, Intraday Bar Period, and Graph Draw Type) will apply to any new chart opened using Find Symbol.
