  • "!" -The exclamation mark captures data from the lowest visible yellow, or lowest green/red composite line on J and 2 Charts.

    Here are the steps:

    1. Select a ColorBar cell to hold the captured data. Click on the cell turning its background black.
    2. Move the mouse to the center of the chart and click. This ensures that the next keystroke is processed by the chart.
    3. Hit the ! key on the keyboard. The Chart will put it's lowest yellow (or red/green composite) line into the selected ColorBar cell assigning the red line's ticker + appending a quote mark. The new line is a duplicate of that lowest line on the chart.
    4. If you wish, save the new line as an FNU by right-clicking on its ColorBar cell. The new data and ticker can be used for further analysis just like any other data in the FT Databases.
