that lower toolbar could be viewed as high dollar real estate in metastock land.... why not put it to [url="http://www.hayseedville.com//cu[censored]r.htm]good use[/url]...... if you primarily trade the same markets or securites, placing your favorite layouts and templates there saves time .... my primary markets are the 'oex', 'dia' and 'spy'..... having them on that toolbar actually does 2 neat things..... if i have up just a plain 'adct' chart up and wished to view it with my molivia template, clicking on that icon, 'dia molivia', brings up not only 'adct' but also my 'dia' molivia chart as well.... that kinda keeps me in touch with my primary markets if i'm looking elsewhere.....h
