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.

 Click the Chart Analysis icon in the TradingApps window, and a new Chart Analysis window displays.

Charting Elements

• Price bars - Specific chart types 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 that may be applied to charts including a variety of indicators, ShowMe and PaintBar studies, and drawing objects to assist you in identifying patterns and trading opportunities.
• Strategies - Trading strategies may be added to your 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 Account Orders and Positions for the symbol.
