Charts

Charts provide a valuable aid to developing and confirming strategies. The View Charts page displays three charts; a price chart and two indicator charts. Gain related charts are displayed on the Analyze page, and the compare chart has its own page. These charts are from the View Charts page. Name labels on lines have been turned on. Different background colors have been chosen.

Chart durations from three months to ten years can be selected. The period chosen can be daily, weekly or monthly. For longer durations, individual chart areas can be expanded to fill the entire chart by dragging a rectangle around the area of interest. Analysis functions can be performed on any display selection.

A three-month daily candlestick chart is shown below. A thirteen day EMA (exponential moving average) line has been added. Information about the date at the vertical bar is displayed in the top information line and in the EMA information at the top left of the chart. The price axis can be set to a log or linear scale. See the Price Chart image for a trade values illustration.
