Backup

Watchlists and projects (indicators, trendlines & captions) are stored on your hard-drive. It is advisable to backup these files on a regular basis.

Select a Chart

You can use the toolbar below, or the View menu, to select chart type, chart interval and price scale.

The chart type sets the line or bar presentation. There are five basic chart types:

•  Close plots a single line representing closing price
•  OHLC uses bar charts with Open High Low and Close to reflect price performance
•  Candlesticks highlight the relationship between opening and closing prices
•  Equivolume combines price and volume information to confirm price movements
•  Point And Figure focuses on price movements to identify support, resistance & chart patterns

See Chart Types for further details.

Hint

Candle/Close and OHLC/Close
Will automatically display a closing price line if you select a lengthy time period — where the candles become too crowded.

The chart interval sets the period covered by each bar. Intervals range from 1-minute to Annual, with Daily and Weekly the most frequently used bars. See Chart Intervals for further details.

Logarithmic Price Axis on the View menu or toolbar (below) sets the price axis to Logarithmic or Normal Scale.

Change the Time Frame

To change the chart time frame, select Display Period on the main menu.

Hint

Different time frames are displayed, depending on the data-set (daily, hourly, minute) in view.
