Charts Panel
Search:  


The Charts Panel is a work area where multiple charts may be arranged.

Click (New Chart) and select the desired currency symbol to open a new chart.

The Charts Panel functions in two modes. In maximized mode, each chart takes up the entire area of the Charts Panel. To switch between charts, use the tabs located at the bottom of the panel.



Alternatively, in windowed mode, each chart is placed in its own floating window that can be arranged freely within the panel.



A chart can be "undocked" from the Charts Panel into its own floating window that can be placed anywhere in the platform interface. To undock a chart from the Charts Panel, right-click on the chart's tab and select "Undock Chart."



Context Menu (right-click on the chart area)

The right-click menu of a chart allows placement of stop and limit orders for the charted currency pair as well as adjustment of various parameter described below:

IntervalChoose desired interval for the chart
Bar ChartDisplays a currency's open, high, low, and closing prices. The top of each vertical bar represents the highest price that the currency traded during that time interval and the bottom of the bar represents the lowest price that it traded. The closing price is displayed as a horizontal "tick" to the right side of the bar, representing the last price the currency traded. A tick on the left side of the bar signifies the opening price.
Line ChartDisplays the currency's closing price; thus providing an uncluttered, easy to understand view of a currency's price.
Candle ChartDisplays each time period in a "candlestick" format. Each candlestick shows the open, high, low and close of a specific time period. A candlestick can either be solid or transparent. Its appearance depends on the relationship between the opening and the closing price. If the close is higher than the open, the candlestick is transparent or empty. If the close is lower than the open, the candle is solid or filled.
