Chart and indicator settings, plus trendlines and captions, are automatically saved to the open project file for later recall. There are also a number of pre-set project files, in [square brackets] with examples of typical trading systems.

Default Project

The charting application always opens with the Default project file. If you only use one trading system, we suggest that you use the default file. Settings and trendlines are automatically saved to the file as you add them.
