Currency
Charting Toolbar
On the left
of the charting toolbar, the first three buttons allow day traders
to select the currency pair, chart period (time interval), and type
of currency chart.
Currency
Pair
Traders could graph a total of 9 currency pairs with our software.
They simply choose the currency pair they want to chart from the
drop-down box shown below. Notice that in the example shown, the
trader has selected the EUR/USD pair.
Chart Period
The available intervals in our charting platform include daily,
weekly, and monthly periods, as well as 8 intraday FX charts (1-minute,
5-minute, 10-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour, and 4-hour
periods). To choose a specific period, simply select the time in
the drop-down box as shown on the example (the trader is about to
select a daily period-graph; in other words, each bar or candle
represents one day of pricing data).
Chart Types
Currency traders can choose from a total of 6 different charts
from the drop-down box, including ProSticks, Candlesticks, Bar,
Line, Bar & Modal, and Modal Line.
* To use
intraday periods (popular for day trading), select either candlestick
charts, bar charts, or line graphs from the chart type menu. The
other chart types are only available for daily, weekly and monthly
price data.

button of the three buttons selected below t is used to input text

on the FX chart and a text box with a blinking cursor appears to
allow him to enter the desired text. The middle button erases the
last text box added to the chart and the last button erases all
text boxes.
