Charts - Setup

Updated today

Appearance and properties of each chart in the terminal can be set up individually. To do so, one has to execute the "Charts — Properties..." menu command, the chart context menu command of the same name, or press F8. These actions result in appearing of the "Properties" window that can be used for setting of the color of various elements of the chart (the "Colors") tab:

  • Background — chart background color;

  • Foreground — color of axes, scales, OHLC line;

  • Grid — chart grid color;

  • Bar Up — bar up, shades and fringing of the Bull Candle body;

  • Bar Down — bar down, shades and fringing of the Bear Candle body;

  • Bull candle — color of the Bull Candle body;

  • Bear candle — color of the Bear Candle body;

  • Line graph — line chart and doji;

  • Volumes — volumes and levels of open positions;

  • Ask line — color of the Ask line;

  • Stop levels — levels of stop orders (Stop Loss and Take Profit).

The changes made are automatically shown in the left part of the window in the preview chart. Except for the manual setting of various color elements of the chart, one can choose pre-defined color diagrams in the field of the same name. There are three color diagrams available in the terminal: "Yellow on Black", "Green on Black", and "Black on White". After the color diagram is chosen, the chart elements described above will change in the chart in the left part of the window. Custom color diagrams can be stored in templates.
