Use this tab to select a particular series in the Chart and customize its appearance.

The available options vary depending on the chart style selected in the tab.

Options may include:

• Color
• Line Style
• Label
• Axis placement

In addition to the customizations, there are buttons to:

• Remove the selected series from the chart

  How To: Add Series to a Display
• Add calculated series to the chart.

Use the New Calculated Series feature for simple overlays like Moving Averages and Percent Changes - easier than a formal calculation if you just need a quick chart enhancement.
