== Formatting Arrow Up ==
In MultiCharts one can change the settings of the Arrow Up. All the changes are performed in the '''Format Arrow Up''' window.
Each instance of the Arrow Up has its own Format window. The numbers (if there are 2 or more Arrows in the same Chart Window) are shown in the titlebar of each '''Format Arrow Up''' window.
One can change the settings of the Arrow: its color, style and weight. It is also possible to change the time and price coordinates of the Arrow.
