vMAX Trader™ "project" is a collection of data for a particular security necessary to display its price chart and indicators with all supporting features in one or more time frames.
Go to "File" menu and click on "New". The dialog first appears in a brief mode where you just have to type in a symbol name for a chosen security type. Then click OK and a project based on a default template will be created. Example template: 3 time frames: Daily, with 6 month worth of data; Weekly - 2 years and Monthly - 5 years.
You can have more control over project parameters if you switch the dialog in a full mode by clicking on "More >>" button. Type in a Security Name and select a Security Type. Then add as many time frames as needed.
Security Name could be either a company name (in case of a stock) like "General Electric Co" or a symbol like "GE". If a symbol is provided for Security Name as opposed to a company name then every time frame can used the symbol by default to request information from a data provider.
Once the project is set up, click OK button and vMAX Trader™ will automatically download data for all time frames using appropriate data providers.
Template inherits time frame and all configuration settings. vMAX Trader™ has three default templates: stocks, commodities, and FOREX. You can easily create a new template for any security type by clicking "Save as Template" from the Project Properties dialog.
