Command Line toolbar allows the active window's chart resolution or symbol to be changed simply by entering a text command.
Type the appropriate command in the '''Command Line''' [[File:052_CommandLineCommand.png|200px]] combo box and press '''Enter'''.
To select a previously used command use the drop-down function.
* <syntaxhighlight>.isy</syntaxhighlight>Inserts additional symbol into existing chart or creates a new chart. Available parameters: '''name''', '''df''', '''res''', '''desc''', '''from''', '''to''', '''bfm'''. “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .ISY and .CSY Commands|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.csy</syntaxhighlight>Changes symbol (specific data series) plotted on chart to another specific symbol (if there is no chart, this command creates an empty chart window with no data series plotted). Available parameters: '''dnum''', '''name''', '''df''', '''res''', '''desc''', '''from''', '''to''', '''mute''', '''bfm'''. “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .ISY and .CSY Commands|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.iind</syntaxhighlight>Inserts specific indicator to the active chart. Available parameters: '''name''', '''base''', '''bref''', '''fmt'''. “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .IIND and .ISIG Commands|below]]. In '''MultiCharts 9.1 Beta 1''' the new '''Subchart''' parameter will be introduced. It defines subchart number where the indicator will be plotted. By default, when subchart=-1 is used, a new subchart will be added at the bottom of the chart window.
* <syntaxhighlight>.isig</syntaxhighlight>Inserts specific signal to the active chart. Available parameters: '''name1''', '''name2'''. '''nameN''' (up to 99). “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .IIND and .ISIG Commands|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.rld</syntaxhighlight>Reloads data on the active chart and on all charts with the same symbol. Available parameters: '''glob''', '''ResSize ResName''', '''int'''. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .RLD Command|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.rldw</syntaxhighlight>Reloads data on all charts in the active workspace.
* <syntaxhighlight>SymName</syntaxhighlight>Changes the symbol to a specified one on the active chart. If there is no selected symbol , the symbol that is plotted on data series 1 is changed.
* <syntaxhighlight>ResSize ResName</syntaxhighlight>Changes resolution of the symbol plotted as data series 1 of the active chart to a specified one. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Resolutions for Command Line|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.shs</syntaxhighlight>Switches between different styles for Hint window.
* <syntaxhighlight>.eds</syntaxhighlight>Shows the entire data series of the active chart window.
* <syntaxhighlight>.goto </syntaxhighlight>Scrolls charts to a set point.<br>Available parameters: '''dnum''', '''bar''', '''date''', '''time'''.
