About the Chart Analysis Window

Chart Analysis windows are used to display price charts, perform technical analysis, back-test and automate strategies, and see open and filled orders for the charted symbol. You can create several charts within the same workspace and you can add multiple symbols to a single Chart Analysis window.

 Access by clicking the Chart Analysis icon in the TradingApps window. A new Chart Analysis window is displayed.

Charting Elements

• Price bars - Graphically reveal how a particular stock, option, futures contract, or other symbol is performing and how it has reacted to past market conditions.
• Technical analysis - Tools may be applied to charts including a variety of indicators, ShowMe's, PaintBar's, and drawing objects to assist you in identifying patterns and trading opportunities.
• Strategies - Can also be added to charts allowing you to develop and back-test your trading ideas and, when appropriate, automate buy/sell signals and order generation.
• Order status markers - Can be overlaid on price data for the charted symbol to keep track of open orders and filled positions.
