As stated above, Extra users can save up to 200 ChartLists, each containing up to 500 charts. Charting pages such as SharpCharts or Point & Figure Charts allow you to modify your favorite charts directly from the page. There are two ways to utilize your favorites from these pages.

• Save Changes saves any changes made to the current chart.
• Delete removes the current chart from the selected list.
