Customizing charts

The terminal provides a number of modes and commands to customize charts.

The “Crosshair/Measurer” mode

When the mode is on, the terminal shows the corresponding quote/indicator and time as a user drags the cursor over some chart point. Pressing the left mouse button and holding it when dragging allows a user to know the distance in time and price between two points.

To switch on/off the mode, do one of the following:

  • Press the “Crosshair/Measurer” button in the “Chart instruments” toolbar.
  • Right-click in a chart window and press “Crosshair/Measurer”.
  • Go to “Chart –> Crosshair/Measurer” in the menu bar (for any trading instrument chart).
  • Go to “Chart % –> Crosshair/Measurer” in the menu bar (for Chart %).

“Scroll to market” command

The command is only available when the “Scroll to market” mode is off . It allows a user to move quickly to the latest quotes.

To execute the command, do one of the following:

  • Right-click in a chart window and press “Scroll to market”.
  • Go to “Chart –> Scroll to market” in the menu bar.
