## Dashboard Positioning Tips[​](#dashboard-positioning-tips "Direct link to Dashboard Positioning Tips")

* If you use multiple sub-window indicators (such as AIMS Wave or Grant's AO), you can reposition the dashboard by adjusting `InpDashboardX` and `InpDashboardY`.
* The dashboard's interactive buttons remember their state while the chart remains open.
* Clicking `Lines ON/OFF` allows you to toggle line visibility without opening the indicator input properties dialog.
