Hello Seniors,

I am a beginner in Ami broker. Still in a learning path. I was trying to display Data Window in Ami Broker so that it can display OHLC and plotted indicator values instantly as we move cursor from one bar to another. Most of the Online Trading platforms display Data window just by pressing Ctrl+D button.

I tried to search Manual and Web site for Answer but couldn't find it. I find it difficult to read OHLC just by selecting bar and reading it from Top of chart window. I am sure there would be option to enable Data window.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi VJAY,

Thanks for the reply. I checked the setting which you have suggested. It is already checked and I found that I can get Data tool tips while moving cursor over the price bar. is it possible to enable data window as shown in the attached Data Window image? I have taken it from ODIN client online trading software.

Thanks,

Rakesh
