Setting chart types
Instrument charts can be of the following types:
To change a chart type, do one of the following:
- Press “Bars chart”, “Candles chart” or “Lines chart” in the “Chart main” toolbar.
- Right-click in an instrument chart window and press “Type –> <Type>”.
- Go to “Chart –> Type –><Type>” in the menu bar.
“Bars” chart
Every single bar has the following values: opening price, closing price, high and low over a given period of time.
“Candles” type
Every single bar has the following values: opening price, closing price, high and low over a given period of time. Besides, the color of Japanese candles displays the closing price (increase/decrease) in relation to the previous closing price.
This is the default view for an instrument chart if it doesn’t imply a tick chart (see “Setting chart timeframes”).
“Lines” chart
The chart represents a broken line, connecting closing prices of every period of time.
This chart type is used only for displaying tick charts and Chart %.
