- Displaying charts
To display a given chart select a symbol from the list of favorite
symbols (on the left) or enter a symbol into primary symbol field just
above the list. The symbol can be a ticker, stock name, currency or
index (the actual naming convention depends on the website owner). If
you want to compare the chart to other symbol, enter a symbol name into
secondary symbol field, below the symbol list. You can also compare
performance of multiple stocks by first selecting the percent (performance) scale and
then selecting multiple symbols. Please note, that when you enter a new
symbol, it is automatically added to the list of favorite symbols for
your convenience. You can set the desired display range for charts by selecting
a preferred display range option in the top toolbar.
- Working with indicators
To display technical indicators select them using options available in
the second toolbar. Indicator parameters can
be adjusted using text fields to the right of an indicator. Enter
desired parameter value and press [ENTER] to apply the new
parameter. If multiple charts are displayed at the same time, then the
indicators are calculated for the primary chart.

Using the options available in the first toolbar, you can set a chart
type, a scale, data compression or adjust the amount of data displayed.
To customize line widths and colors press the "chart customization"

button and drag the mouse to draw an object. To move an object, hold the
[SHIFT] key (in automatic drawing mode), to delete an object hold the [CTRL] key (in automatic drawing mode).
You can easily create trendlines parallel to an existing line. Just press and hold both [CTRL] and [SHIFT]
and then drag the selected line to a new position. To put a text
comment on the chart, first select the 'Text' option from the pop-up
menu, then click on the chart and enter the text. To edit existing

a text.
