Sidebars
last updated: 2007-12-19 19:34:50

Sidebar is a panel that encapsulates different controls to drive distinct pieces of functionality in vMAX Trader™. For example, there is a sidebar for MyTradecast, candlestick patterns, indicators, project comments etc. By default all sidebars are available and docked to the right side of the main vMAX Trader window. You can arrange sidebars in almost any way:

  • Close
  • Hide
  • Dock to any side of the main window
  • Dock to another sidebar
  • Group sidebars

  1. Toggle Auto-Hide on and off
  2. Close a sidebar (can always be opened from View/Sidebars menu or by using keyboard short-cuts)
  3. Sidebar tabs

As already stated any sidebar can be docked to any side of the main window or another sidebar. It is accomplished by dragging a sidebar either by its tab (3) or a caption title (where it says "Candlestick Patterns" for this example) to a desired location and dropping it there. As you do this operation you will see as a visual help a contour of the sidebar indicating its final position. If you double-click on a sidebar caption, you will make the sidebar float which means it's not going to be docked to any other control. This is very useful if you have multiple monitors and want to have price graph and indicators on one monitor and sidebars on another. In this case you will maximize the size of the graphs and have all the controls readily available for the most productive experience. If you want to dock floating sidebar you could either drag it to a desired location or just double-click on its caption.
