  * In the E*TRADE FX platform, the command is available on the Charts menu, on the File submenu.
3. The Save Snapshot dialog box will appear.
   
   
4. Type a name for the snapshot or choose any existing snapshot to overwrite in the Name box.
5. Click OK.
6. Confirm the overwriting if necessary.

The snapshot will appear in the list of snapshots in the Open Snapshot and Manage Snapshots dialog boxes.

To save changes in a snapshot

• Do one of the following:

• On the File menu, point to Snapshots and then click Save Snapshot.
• Right-click in the chart, point to Snapshots on the shortcut menu, and then click Save Snapshot.
  
  * In the E*TRADE FX platform, the command is available on the Charts menu, on the File submenu.

To save a snapshot as another snapshot:

1. Right-click the snapshot label and then click Save Snapshot As. The same Save Snapshot dialog box will appear.
2. To save a new snapshot, type a new name in the Name box and then click OK.

Note: If you make changes on a chart snapshot and then close it, the Confirm Saving dialog box will appear. There you will be offered to save changes in the snapshot. Also you can select the Don't ask again check box to save your changes without confirmation.
If you close Marketscope without saving your changes in a snapshot, then you changes will be saved on the chart, not in the snapshot.
