In-Platform Help

TradeStation has an incredible, comprehensive online help system that you can access anywhere in the platform by pressing the F1 key. You can easily find general help and support by selecting Help from the top menu bar in the platform, and you can find specific help directly from the window, dialog, column, drawing object, indicator, or analysis tools you are on. If you right-click on a chart and select Help from the shortcut menu, a chart analysis topic will conveniently display at the same time you are using the chart. To help you customize your trading, right-click on a reserved word or function to go directly to a help topic from the EasyLanguage® code editor. The EasyLanguage® dictionary defines all of the classes and properties and you can quickly load a specific object example.
