Working with Charts

A chart shows the price changes for a security with the time. Charts are necessary for performing of technical analysis, working of expert advisors and testing thereof. Up to ninety-nine charts can be opened in the terminal at the same time.

The list of securities available will appear at performing of any of the above actions. Having selected the necessary symbol from this list, one can open its chart. New charts can also be opened from the "Market Watch" window, holding Ctrl and dragging the element of the list (the symbol) from the window into any point of the workspace of the terminal, or having executed the "Chart Window" command of the context menu. All new charts are opened with the DEFAULT.TPL template created during the terminal installation. This template cannot be deleted, but it can be modified.

History data used for drawing of charts are stored on the hard disk. At opening of a chart, the data are downloaded from the disk and the last missing data are spooled from the trading server. If there are no history data for the symbol on the hard disk, the latest 512 bars of history will be downloaded. To spool the earlier data, one has to move the chart to the desired area. After the chart has been opened, information about the current quotes starts to income to the terminal. Thus, the further price changes will be shown in the real-time mode. This information will be stored in the history file and used at the reopening of this chart in future.
