The background of MultiCharts is the desktop, which you see when the program starts. The desktop hosts workspaces.
A workspace holds the applications that you use. Applications appear as windows on a workspace. Use 2 workspaces: Minuting and Tally.
Minuting
Minuting is the primary workspace. Use a 1200-share (volume) bar chart for timing and a 2400-share bar chart for context.
Both 1200 and 2400 charts display the Visage overlay.
The 1200 chart also shows VoX and the Cockpit indicator.
The 2400 chart has the CloseLine and VWAP 7o5 overlays.
Besides charts, the minuting workspace has a DOM and a watchlist, to host the cracker barrel and pick firecrackers via the SST Radar study.
Tally
Set the Tally workspace to show 2 or 3 windows: one for Account, to see the profit and loss for the session; the Positions History, to see the results of individual trades; and, perhaps, the Orders window, which chronicles individual trades.
