Earik:
I have a chart that will not open...I suspect it is corrupted. W59 sits there for along time with the blue circle..I spend ALOT of time setting it up...
....now gone...???
Is there a way to access that chart and salvage it? Any tips from other users?
thanks

The chart file is a text file, so you can edit it manually. When a chart hangs on loading, it often is a problem with an indicator. If it's an indicator that's causing the issue, you can delete that section of the chart file and see if it opens. Just make a backup of the file in Windows Explorer in case you need to revert back to the original file.

Thanks for the reply Kenn
No indicators...just lines......
I will most likely rebuild chart
