When adding a new chart or HOT widget, the last seelected symbol will be used to populate the chart or HOT.

Changing a Symbol

Once you have a widget on the page, you can change the symbol using the entry field in the toolbar. You can search for an exchange symbol, a name of a commodity, or a CQG symbol in the entry field. Use the arrow keys or click one of the results in the list.

Easily change a symbol when a widget is in focus

Easily change symbols in single-symbol widgets by simply typing when the widget you want to change is in focus (highlighted with blue tab). You no longer have to click in the symbol entry field to enter a symbol or to use autosuggest.

In addition, easily change chart interval by typing "," + interval abbreviation and enter any interval. For example, ",1" will change the selected chart to a 1 min chart, ",d" for daily, etc.

Linking Windows

If linking is on in any other widgets, you will see the link group color show up in the list. If you already have a quote board with linking turned on, and you're planning on pushing symbols to this widget, you can select the link color instead of entering a symbol. You can enable linking at any time in the tabs.

Panning

• Dragging to the background of the chart to the right will pan back in time.

Zooming

• Dragging down on price (right bar) will shrink the chart vertically, dragging up will increase vertically.
• Dragging to the right on the time scale (bottom bar) will compress bars, dragging to the left will expand bars.
• Double tap (on the phone), or double-click (in a desktop browser) the background of the chart to reset the chart to default sizing and spacing.

Auto-scale

• Auto-scale mode: compressing and expanding the price scale as well as dragging the chart vertically where bars are out of view takes the chart out of auto-scale mode. Double-clicking on the chart background will return the chart to Auto-scale mode.
• Auto-scale with studies: disregards studies and only keeps chart bars when panning the chart.
• Auto-scale without studies (blue): keeps chart bars and studies when panning the chart.

Chart Toolbar

Crosshair mode, Tooltips, and Cursor Value

• To help highlight objects beneath your cursor on hover, enable crosshair mode by using the button in the toolbar.
• Hover over a bar or study to get a tooltip of the underlying data from that bar or study.

When rolling over the chart when crosshairs mode is 'on', the chart will display cursor values for the chart bars and studies.

Add a Study

• Add a study using the +Study button in the chart toolbar or at the top left-hand corner of the chart.
• The dialog to manage charts will open with the +Study tab selected.

• Recently used studies are easily accessed in their own section.
• Use the Add button when you want to add multiple studies, use the Add + Close button or the X in the upper right-hand corner when finished.

Managing Objects on the Chart

The reason for the On chart dialog is to have a single dialog where you can see everything that is visible on a chart and add, remove, and manage studies instead of having to go to five different right-click or preference entry points.

• To add/remove studies or show/hide objects on the chart, click the gear icon in the chart toolbar.
• A number appearing beside the gear indicates how many studies are shown on the chart.

The Object section in this dialog contains toggles for managing different chart features like daily and cursor values, thermometers, symbol watermark, thermometers, orders, countdown timers and session lines.

Remove a Study

• Remove a study by using the drop-down next to the study name either in the On chart dialog or on the left side of the chart.

Auto-scale with studies on chart

A new toggle button switches between auto-scaling with or without studies when panning the chart.

Countdown to End of Bar

• Open the Manage Chart dialog from the gear icon in the chart toolbar.
• Check the Bar countdown (intraday) option in the Objects list.
• A countdown timer will appear below the last price in the price scale.

Study Parameters

• Access the Parameters dialog using the gear icon beside any study name, on the chart, or in the Manage Chart dialog.
• Changes are shown immediately on the chart.

Study Visual Style

• Access the Style tab of the Chart parameters dialog using the color swatch icon next to any study name.

Study Menu

Access additional tasks for a study using the drop-down next to any study name.

Linked Studies

This a new feature designed to minimize the amount of study parameter tweaking that is done across different time intervals or symbols. By using a linked study, every change to parameter or style is immediately updated on every chart using that linked study.

You can have multiple linked studies.
