SAVE ME SPACE!

So you want to save space inside your ScottradeELITE frame? Well, guess what. You can and it is simple. For every tool within ScottradeELITE you can minimize the tool bars to save yourself room. This allows you to see a bigger chart or put more tools on the screen.

In each tool window, there is an "arrow" icon located in the top right. You will notice that by default the arrow is pointing down with a red minus sign next to it. This would indicate that you are viewing your menu bar. If you click on the arrow, it will change to an up arrow with a green plus sign. You will no longer see the menu and it will have created some extra space in your window.

If you are still curious about how to use the features from the toolbar, you can either pull the menu back down or use the right-click from your mouse. Most all of the features can be found in the right click menu that match those found on the toolbar.

This is just a little space saver. Hope it helps your layout free up some space to help you have a more clear view of what you are wanting to see.

Talk again soon,
Todd
