How to change chart minutes to "240"

[michelle99]

Hi there,

Using the top left drop down in a chart it's really quick to swap between say a 60min chart to a 3min chart. Howvever every time I want to go to a 240minute chart I have to right click, choose Data Series and then manually key in "240".

Is there perhaps a quicker way to do this (besides just using Ctrl-F to get to Data Series).

A great solution would be if I could somehow just add "240 Min" to the drop down, but really anything which would make this task quicker would be good.

Thanks
Michelle

SOLUTION: Just click on the chart and type "240m".

Changing and Adding Instruments and Intervals via Keyboard
You can change instruments or intervals by pressing a letter or number key in a selected chart. Within the window that appears, you can change the instrument, interval, or chart type by using the following formats and pressing the "Enter" key when finished. If multiple instruments are displayed in the chart, you can change a specific instrument by left mouse clicking to select it before typing. If no instrument is selected, the primary instrument is changed.

To change an instrument:
Type the instrument symbol. (Add the front month for futures instruments) Examples: "ES 12-09" for E-mini S&P 500, "AAPL" for Apple stock or "EURUSD" for Euro/U.S. dollar Forex pair.

To change bar series:
Type interval value plus the interval suffix (Value +suffix). Examples: "5M" for 5 minute bars, "100T" for 100 tick bars, etc.

To change instrument and interval:
Type the symbol + interval. Example: "AAPL 5M" will change chart to a 5 minute chart of Apple stock.
