Hey, Mel! Sorry, have been away from here all day. Make sure you have "Charts" clicked in ToS and you are seeing a chart. Then, in upper right, click "Studies". That is their terminology for what we commonly refer to as our "indicators." Next, select "Edit Studies" (not "Add Study") so you can then see everything and create your own unique setup in the next window that opens for you. In there, you will see a huge menu to the left, alphabetized. There are 3-4 different Accum/Dist. studies, but I use the standard one. SMAs, SAR (you'll find that one under "p" as it is labeled parabolic SAR), Bollinger bands, etc., etc. Once you highlight one, such as "Acc/Dist", click on "Add Study" below the list and it will register to the right. Now, as you add more studies, you can organize them in the list you've created at the right. Just click on one of them in that list and you will be able to move it up, down, in a different frame, whatever. You can also tweak/adjust it by changing the digits, colors, etc., which is HUGE for me as I rarely use standard settings with things like MACD. It's pretty cool, but take your time and have fun getting acquainted with this powerful tool. Good luck, Mel, and let me know how it goes. smile
