Is it possible to copy and paste a Button indicator from one chart to another?

Yes. Right-click on a button, and choose either Cut or Copy from the popup menu. Both Cut and Copy will copy the button setup to the clipboard. Cut has the additional affect of removing the button from the pane in which it presently resides. Then go to another chart window or to another pane in the same chart window, right-click in the pane and choose "Paste".

All About Futures Rollover in Investor/RT

It's that time of the quarter (or month), time to roll over your futures contract to the new month. At the time of editing this topic, ESM4 (June 2024) is about to expire and ESU4 (Sept 2024) is becoming the new front-month contract. To keep relevant long term view analysis (especially the one involving Volume profile), the vast majority of our users wish to remove the gap created in the continuous contract (@ES#) data when a contract rolls over. Let's review this simple procedure:

How can I setup Investor/RT for automatic trading with Rithmic, CQG, or Gain? (Autotrading)

The brokerage integration features of Investor/RT currently operate with Rithmic, CQG and Interactive Brokers. These brokerage features are designed to provide what you may call "trading from the charts", where signals and button clicks are employed to initiate trading actions. Feedback on current position, average fill price, and working order size and price levels is provided in the charts automatically.

How can I access Market Indices like the TICK.Z, TRIN, ADD, VIX, TYX, TNX, PREM etc.

Access to Market Breadth Indices and other Statistics like the TICK.Z, TRIN, ADD, VIX, TYX, TNX, PREM etc., are available at an additional cost if you are using DTN IQfeed or ESignal for real time data. To add these to your account, you will have to contact them directly. If you are feeding Investor/RT with a broker feed and using DTN Market Access for historical data, you may notice that these indices are available by downloading them but the data is not flowing in real time.

Understanding Dynamic Profiles and MPB or BOP

Dynamic Profiles allow the price action of the market to dictate the duration of a profile. As price continues to trade within a given range, a profile will continue to build. New profiles are only formed once price moves to new levels relative to recent bars.
