Assuming drag-n-dropped indicators:

1 - Answered by Charting > Plotting Indicators in the Wealth-Lab User Guide.
2 - Double-click the indicator.

2 - I prefer right-click (verify indicator pop up) and then "Change Indicator Properties"

If you don't precisely target the indicator with a double click, you'll get the Bar Data Editor dialog and then have to do it all over again.

Good point. (An unlucky click outside may even produce a message saying that bar data editing isn't available for that chart.)

When I double click on the indicator, I get a "Bar Data Editor" dialog. Please see

No, you didn't click an indicator. You clicked the chart. Indicator is a colored line.

I may as well delete what I wrote before. For some reason I thought it would help, but I was wrong.

I did, in fact also click on the colored line for the KC (see text bubble on right of chart -- http://www.detmavin.com/dd/); when I double click on the KC line, I get the same Bar Data Editor message. In fact (I just discovered) I get the same message when I double click ANYWHERE on the chart. Is there another chart type I should have open?

To edit a bar, you need to click on the bar that you're trying to edit - that's how bar data editing works.

It won't work:

1) while the chart is Streaming, or
2) the data provider has no bar data editing support (e.g. ASCII, Watchlist), or
3) when clicking on an indicator's line, or
4) clicking outside PricePane/VolumePane.

A couple of clarifying notes:

1 - Removing an indicator takes a right-click on the line, this is explained in the User Guide (pointer above).
2 - Modifying a drag-n-dropped indicator means aiming at it precisely, on any bar, until it starts showing its value, and then double-clicking. This won't work with indicators created in code.
