Show more on chart
My thinkorswim platform appears to have a far more superior chart than does NT. Am I doing something wrong? I like how NT puts the buy, sell, open, and close notations on the chart though. Is there any way to get NT to show the price and time where my cursor happens to be?Tags: None

Hello tedpenner,
You can enable the Data Box by either clicking on the Data Box icon on the chart toolbar or by right clicking on the chart and selecting Show Data Box. You can also use the hot key Ctrl+D.
The mini data box can be displayed by middle mouse clicking on the chart.
Please see the link below for more information.

The databox. Thank you. I do see that and it is helpful to be certain. However, sometimes the cross hairs are really nice to have. Is there any way to show them?

The guy in the video needs to click the F to turn off FIXED mode that he set when he scrolled in the right.
I'm not sure why his EURUSD is off by .20 or so.
I use 6E 09-12 in NT.
What data provider is used in the video for NT? .. the mapping of the instrument might be incorrect.

Find information for Euro FX Futures EUR/USD Contract Specs provided by CME Group. View Contract Specs
EUR/USD per TDA is the Euro/USD Spot
6E per TDA is the Euro FX Futures (the one you can trade).
Can you even trade the eur/usd Spot?
I try to keep my life simple and just deal with futures.

I guess that's why it is "off"?

Wow! I don't understand any of that. Thank you for trying to explain it to me.
I have traded the EUR/USD with thinkorswim because the risk is relatively limited with $270 margin requirement for each 10,000 contract size. With my stops in place, I am really risking only about 5% max of that $270 margin requirement. I don't know anything else with that type of a setup. At a cost of only the spread, that works very well for me.
How could futures make life easier at a cost of over $1000 per contract? Does TDA refer to TD Ameritrade? I have heard the term Spot before but am not really sure what it means.

After some google reading on " eur/usd vs 6e", eur/usd is FX/forex?
