    Louis - if I make a level, then click somewhere else in the chart, the little boxes disappear. If I then left click the line, the little boxes reappear at both ends and then I can right click the line to remove it or I can drag one of the boxes to move the line higher or lower.  Does it not work like this for you?

    Lee- sometimes clicking elsewhere on the chart works, usually i need to click a different chart of the same ticker for boxes to disappear. Then when i left click the line usually nothing happens... but again if i go to a different chart of the same ticker and left click, then the i can remove, config or move the line. 

    and the hand to arrow thing for zooming in... most charts are fine for doing it on the arrow and hit 'shift' and drag to make a box to zoom in... but on the daily chart for me it will never sit on an arrow... always the hand... 

    let me know if you have more questions....

    Since the global line feature was enabled, removing a line is different for me. I noted this in my video, but I found that you have to first select the line and then you can remove it. So I left click the line and it will give me those little boxes on the ends. Then I right click and remove the line. 

    If you haven’t tried that, give it a shot. 

    I have marked the video to start directly at the spot where I reference it. You’ll see when I left click the line, the little boxes on the ends of the line appear. That shows the line has been selected.  Then I right click and choose remove  

     

    usually when i left click the level i just made (with no box with x at both ends of it) absolutely nothing happens... if i right click for config/remove menu... if i choose remove nothing happens... if i choose config... i can go thru the process to, lets say, change the color of the level i enetered... but nothing happens.

    i also get nothing happening when i make a zone in box on a chart ... the box is there and thats it.. sometimes it works.. mostly not... very frustrating and slows down mornings

    Robert... the extra fees (which i found with Lee's post) are Third Party Charges... sometime they add money to my IB commissions (so my total commissions for that trade is lower than IB charges ) ... and sometimes they tack on more commission than my IB commissions... doesnt seem to be any pattern... if this is normal thats fine... but if there is a way to control it, that would nice to know...

    With IB ...is there some stocks or exchanges to avoid because of the extra fees that are applied? It seems there is no pattern to how they apply these extra fees either ... but it does still average out to be cheaper slightly than the fixed rate...
