Chart types

▪ Choose one of the following chart types from the dropdown list. This chart type will be applied to the mainsymbol of the chart.

Line chart The Close prices of the symbol (or ticks in a tick chart) are plotted as a continuousline. This is the most basic chart type. It offers a simple, uncluttered view of the pricedevelopment of a symbol.

Candlestick chart The Open, High, Low and Close prices of a symbol are plotted as candlesticks. Acandlestick consists of a body, that is drawn between the Open and Close prices, anupper shadow (High) and a lower shadow (Low). The body is usually green if theClose price is higher than the Open price (rising color), and red if the Close price islower than the Open price (falling color). If the Open and Close prices are equal, thecandlestick has no body and is usually blue (equal color).

Bar chart (OHLC) The Open, High, Low and Close prices of the symbol are plotted as bars. The Highand Low prices are at the upper and lower boundaries of a bar. The Open price isshown at the left side of the bar, and the Close price at the right side. This chart typeis widely used. It offers more information about the price development of a symbolthan the line chart in a condensed view.

Bar chart (HLC) This chart type is similar to the OHLC bar chart, but only shows the High, Low andClose prices of the symbol.

Mountain chart The Close prices of the symbol are plotted as a continuous line. The area betweenthe price line and the zero line of the chart is filled with a transparent color.

Histogram chart The Close prices of a symbol are plotted as vertical columns. This chart type offersthe same information as a line chart in a different visualization.

To change the chart type of a comparison symbol:

▪ Click on the name of the symbol.

▪ In the dialog that appears, choose the desired chart type.

Chart coloring

To change the colors of a symbol:


▪ In the dialog that appears, adapt the colors to your needs.

Show the volume of the main symbol in a new panel.

Use a percentage price scale. The first loaded Close price represents 0%. This mode is useful tocompare the performance of several symbols.Alternatively, you can also use a logarithmic scale. On this scale, equal distances on the scale representan equal percentage change.When both options are deactivated, a linear price scale is used. It shows the absolute prices of the mainsymbol from its minimum to its maximum during the visible time period.

Show the last value of the main symbol as a line on the chart and as a label on the price scale.

Show the previous Close value of the main symbol as a line on the chart and as a label on the pricescale.

Show the data info box when positioning the mouse on the chart. The data info box displays date and timeof the current data point, as well as various values for all visible symbols and indicators.

▪ Click on the X button next to the indicator’s name:

▪ If the indicator was shown in a separate panel, this panel is removed as well.

Drawing on the ChartWhen drawing on the chart, you use drawing tools like trend lines, trend channels, Fibonacci retracements and manymore to interpret the price development of a symbol. With most drawing tools, you have to define one or morereference points that indicate where the drawing object should be placed on the chart. You can later move thesereference points by dragging them with the mouse.

Using the drawing tools

▪ Click on a drawing tool icon (see list of available drawing tools below).

▪ Click on the chart at the first reference point of the drawing object and hold the mouse button down.

▪ Move the mouse pointer to the second reference point of the drawing object and release the mouse button.Exception: Horizontal lines, arrows and text don’t need a second reference point.

▪ When drawing a trend channel or an Andrews Pitchfork, define a third reference point by moving the mousepointer away and clicking at the distance where you want to position the last reference point.

Line A trend line is used to mark significant trends and developments on the chart.You need two reference points to draw a trend line. The reference points arepositioned at pivots, for example at two highs (uptrend) or two lows (downtrend).

Horizontal line A horizontal line usually serves as support or resistance.You only need one reference point to draw a horizontal line. The reference pointis positioned at the price level where you want the line to appear.

Trend channel A trend channel essentially consists of two parallel trend lines that surround thetrending time series.You need three reference points to draw a trend channel. The first two pointsdefine a normal trend line, while the third point defines the distance of thesecond line from the first trend line.

Rectangle A rectangle can be used to highlight a section of a chart.You need two reference points to draw a rectangle: The first point is positionedat the top-left corner of the rectangle, the second one at the bottom-right corner.

Circle Circles can be used to mark significant areas on a chart.You need two reference points to draw a circle: The first point is positioned atthe midpoint of the circle, with the second one you choose its size.

Fibonacci Fan A Fibonacci Fan starts with a trend line (base line) and creates support /resistance lines at the so-called Fibonacci levels of 38,2%, 50% and 61,8%.You need two reference points to draw a Fibonacci Fan. The reference pointsdefine the base line of the fan and are positioned at recent consecutive pivots(for example, a high and the following low). The vertical distance between thetwo reference points is divided into the Fibonacci levels. The fan lines are drawnfrom the starting point through the Fibonacci levels.

Fibonacci VerticalRetracements

Fibonacci Vertical Retracements are used to project a certain base period oftime into the future. By this, you can try to interpret the price development of asymbol based on time intervals to predict when for example the next significant


move will take place.You need two reference points to draw Fibonacci Vertical Retracements. Thetwo points define the first (base) interval. All other intervals are then calculatedbased on this reference interval, using the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13, 21, 34… times the base interval). This means that the first two intervals willhave the same size, the third interval will be double size, the fourth interval threetimes as big, etc.

FibonacciRetracements

Fibonacci Retracements start with a trend line (base line) and divide it into theso-called Fibonacci levels. The horizontal lines at those levels are believed toprovide support / resistance when the price moves into the opposite direction ofthe current trend (retracements).You need two reference points to draw Fibonacci Retracements. The referencepoints define the base line and are positioned at recent consecutive pivots (forexample, a high and the following low). The vertical distance between the tworeference points is divided into the Fibonacci levels.

Fibonacci Arcs With Fibonacci Arcs, you can try to identify support and resistance levels at theso-called Fibonacci levels of 38,2%, 50% and 61,8%.You need two reference points to draw Fibonacci Arcs. The reference pointsdefine the base line and are positioned at recent consecutive pivots (forexample, a high and the following low). The vertical distance between the tworeference points is divided into the Fibonacci levels. The arc lines are thendrawn from the second point with the radii of the resulting distances.

Andrews Pitchfork The Andrews Pitchfork (also called Median Lines) can be used to draw achannel of support and resistance lines, along with a middle line.The pitchfork needs three reference points that are drawn from a sequence ofthree consecutive pivots (for example, Low – High – Low or High – Low – High).The first reference point is set at the latest pivot, the second reference point atthe preceding pivot, and the third reference point at the pivot before that. Thus,you draw the pitchfork starting from the present and going into the past.The median line of the pitchfork is drawn from the third reference point; the outerlines of the pitchfork start at the first two points and run parallel to the medianline. Those lines are believed to act as support and resistance for the followingprice movements.

Standard DeviationChannel

A Standard Deviation Channel consists of a middle line that shows the linearregression trend between two reference points, and two channel lines that aredrawn at the distance of one standard deviation away from the linear regressiontrend line. The channel borders serve as support / resistance lines.You need two reference points to draw a Standard Deviation Channel. Thereference points define the period of time for which the linear regression trend isshown on the chart. The standard deviation channel lines are addedautomatically.

Arrow UpArrow Down

With the arrow tools, you can draw two types of arrows on a chart, pointing up ordown.You only need one reference point to draw an arrow. The reference point isplaced at the position where you want the arrow to appear.

Text With the text tool, you can label other objects on the chart, add descriptions etc.To add text, just click on the chart at the position where you want the text toappear. Then, type your text into the box and choose the desired text style andcolor.You can later edit the text by clicking on it. You can also delete it by using theDelete link in the Add Text dialog.
