The standard ones are all time based (1,2,3,5,10,15,30,60 min)...I'm wanting to know if I can put up some tick and range chart defaults as well, so I don't have to go to the data series tab every time I want to change a setting...? Thanks,

I think they cannot be changed, but you can bind the data series menu to a hotkey of your liking.

The easiest way of switching to a tick or range based chart:

- click on your chart and type "233T" and you will have a 233 tick chart
- click on your chart and type "8R" and you will have an 8 range chart

Thank you! that's brilliant! Do you actually know more about NT than its creators?

You can also add a second dataseries the same way, like +ES 09-12 5M

If I understand correctly. Was talked about in last webinar on NexusFi (formerly BMT).

Thanx for reminding me. I knew this and then forgot about it completely.
