============================================================
QUICK INSTALLATION
============================================================

  1. Extract Elevare_Chart_Templates_v1.0.zip.
  2. Open the included "Chart Template Files" folder.
  3. Select and copy the six Elevare .xml files.
  4. Paste the six files directly into:

       Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Chart

  5. In NinjaTrader, right-click a chart and choose
     Templates > Load.
  6. Select the desired Elevare template.

  A NinjaTrader restart is normally not required. If the
  templates do not appear, close and reopen the Templates >
  Load window. Restart NinjaTrader only if they are still
  unavailable.

------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT - FILE PLACEMENT
------------------------------------------------------------

Copy the six XML files - NOT the enclosing "Chart Template
Files" folder. The XML files must sit directly inside the
Chart folder.

  Correct:
    Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Chart\
      Elevare - Cyan Horizon - Dark.xml

  Incorrect:
    Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Chart\
      Chart Template Files\

Templates placed inside an additional subfolder may not appear
in NinjaTrader's chart-template list.

See "Elevare Chart Templates - Installation Guide.pdf" for
illustrated instructions, verification steps, troubleshooting,
updating, and removal.


============================================================
BEFORE LOADING A TEMPLATE
============================================================

  - Apply an Elevare template to a new or test chart first.
  - Save an existing customized chart as its own NinjaTrader
    template before loading a new template.
  - After loading, confirm the instrument, contract, bar type,
    interval, Trading Hours template, indicators, Chart Trader
    settings, and other chart-specific settings.
  - Do not assume that only candle and background colors
    changed.

Recommended visual settings:

  Chart style:       Candlestick
  Bar width:         5
  Right-side margin: 30

Appearance can vary with NinjaTrader version, Windows display
scaling, monitor resolution, chart size, installed indicators,
and other chart settings.
