1) I am using the Initial Balance study to achieve the goal i want. I am having it label the initial balance high/low for the day/cash session. I would like to have the labels be removed at the end of the session. There does not seem to be a way to do this using this study ? Should i use a different study ? What study is best for removing labels that are time sensitive from one session to the next ?

2) I was told by a computer technician that i should consider backup my Sierra platform onto my external drive every once in a while ?
Any thoughts or suggestions on this ? How should i do this ? Is there a feature on Sierra that will export this to the external drive ? or should i copy the Sierra folder and paste it in the external drive ? How best to do this ?

Thank you

1. This is not supported but you can modify the study to meet your requirements:

However, as time passes by if you want it to follow the Number of Days to Calculate study Input, then you need to reload the chart with Chart >> Reload and Recalculate.
