  • "D" -    Change the charts displayed (see Appearance Settings). Pops up a window allowing you to enter 6 characters.(for example TTAAJJ).
  • "K" -    Ranks the family for the period on the chart.
  • "M" -    Load a family into the list on the Charts Tab.
  • "U" -    View Parameter Settings
  • "!" -     The exclamation mark moves data from the lowest yellow line to the red line of the T or P Chart. FastTrack immediately redraws all visible charts according to the new red line. From that point the red line data can pretty much be treated like any other red line data.  Here are several example of wht you would use the ! hot key: 
    • exporting as an FNU and adding the FNU's ticker symbol to a family. After doing the !, then right-click the red ColorBar cell and select "Make FNU" / "Adjusted for Div". 
    • Creating a 10-day moving average. Display the P Chart. Hit !. The red line of the T or P Chart will now hold the 10-Day moving average of the former red line.

      Limitation:       The XXX' ticker symbol created by the ! may NOT be a family member unless it exists as an FNU file. We suggest using the right-click rename function on the ColorBar to give the XXX' symbol a pseudoticker name  that does not include the ' quote character or duplicate any other symbol. Try ending the ticker in A $ or & character.

      Note Ver 3.4 enhancement: The user may select and ColorBar cell to have the lowest yellow line data directed to that cell instead of the Red Cell.
