Tips on using charts

---

Cursor Function:

1. Our charts have 2 cursor/mouse modes. By pressing the left mouse button (moving the mouse will not move the cursor) the cursor may be locked at a specific time/location. Cancel this function by clicking the left mouse button anywhere on the chart.
2. From a locked cursor position, you may zoom directly into and out of period views (using the F1 button). The timeframes you can access range from multiyear to intraday.
3. Locked cursor allows you to set alerts that are equal to the index and VMA values where the cursor sits.
4.  All cursor data are displayed in the same area at the top of the chart, making it easier to read and monitor. Our charts have added 2 cursor/mouse modes.

Shortcuts Buttons:

At the bottom of a chart, you can find the shortcut buttons panel. It allows you to make quick and easy changes to your chart and alert settings.

1. The "Zoom In" and "Zoom out" buttons found at the bottom of the charts enable you to access real-time and historical views.
2. The cursor button found at the bottom of the charts enables you to view the charts with the following options: Display vertical axis only, display both vertical and horizontal axes, show no axis lines at all.
3. At the bottom of the charts, you will find the "Time Period Up" and "Time Period Down" buttons. These allow you to quickly and conveniently change chart view periods.
4. Additional convenient alert settings can be accessed from the shortcut menu. Use the "!"button at the bottom of the charts.

Drawing lines:

1. Drawn lines stays in memory.
2. To draw a line, use the left mouse button (click and drag).
3. To delete a line, use the delete button on your keyboard. This will erase the last line drawn on an active chart.
