Multiple Symbols
& Timeframes ,
from Different
Data Sources, in
the Same Chart
MultiCharts
features the
ability to plot,
in the same
chart window,
several
dissimilar data
series. The data
series can be of
different
symbols, with
different
timeframes, and
from different
data feeds, all
at once.
Time-based and
Count-based, as
well as Bid,
Ask, or Trade -
based data
series can be
mixed within the
same chart. For
example, you can
mix a 1-minute
and a 5-minute
chart, or plot a
5000-tick, a
5-point, and a
1-second chart
with precise
synchronization.
This feature is
essential for
multiple
timeframe,
correlation, or
inter-market
analysis,
allowing custom
studies to be
based on several
different data
series at once.
Customization
& Flexibility
Nearly every
visual aspect of
the chart's
appearance can
be customized:
axes,
background,
grid, status
line, and more.
This provides
for unmatched
flexibility in
presenting the
data. Here is a
partial list of
the
customization
options:
• The
overall
appearance
of the
chart, the
color and
width of
every chart
component
• Bar
spacing,
zoom, top
and bottom
margins, as
well as the
margin on
the right
edge of the
chart
• Chart
compression,
locating all
of the data,
even a
million
bars, within
one screen
• Background
and grid
line color
• Various
dynamic grid
styles:
point,
solid,
horizontal,
dotted, or
detailed
dotted grids
• Vertical
axes on both
sides, i.e.
an indicator
scale on the
left and a
price scale
on the
right, or no
vertical
axes at all
• Linear or
semi-log,
for drastic
price
movements,
axes
• Visual
order of
indicators
and price
series
• Font and
style of
axes labels
• Last price
marker on or
off
• Display or
hide session
breaks
• Display or
hide empty
periods
• Various
cursor
styles,
including
global
cursor, and
a floating
hint window
to help
pinpoint the
exact price
and time
values
• Custom
status line,
selecting
chart
settings and
values to be
displayed
• Enable,
disable, or
auto-hide
the title
and scroll
bars
• Maximize
SubCharts
with a
single click
• SubChart
divider
lines on or
off, divider
line style

Interactivity
An innovative
feature of
MultiCharts,
setting it apart
from
conventional
charting
software, is the
object-oriented
user interface.
This translates
into intuitive,
easy-to-use
application, and
dramatically
reduces the
learning curve.
To interact with
any object, such
as a data
series, a price
scale, or a
chart
background,
simply click on
it. The
appropriate menu
will appear,
giving you the
choice of only
the relevant
options. There
is no need to
spend time going
through a
complex menu
structure - you
are only one
click away from
anything you
want to do. To
move an object,
such as a
toolbar or a
data series,
simply "grab" it
with the mouse
and drag it to a
new position. A
scale can be
stretched or
compressed with
just a "click
and drag" of the
mouse. Setting
parameters and
maneuvering
objects has
never been
easier or more
efficient.

Extensive
Selection of
Chart Types &
Intervals
An
extensive
selection of
conventional
chart types
is offered:
candlestick,
bar, line, dot,
histograms,
invisible bars,
and so on. A
Volume Profile
chart can reveal
information not
obvious from
standard volume
data charts.
Supported chart
resolutions
include
time-based
(second, minute,
hour, day, week,
etc.) and
count-based
(tick, number of
trades, number
of contracts, or
price range).
Custom
resolutions,
such as 64
ticks, can
easily be set
within each
category.
Innovative
Features
A number of
innovative
features form a
unique
combination of
possibilities
not found in any
other product on
the market.
Symbol &
Interval
Linking
Symbol and
Interval
Linking
saves time
and makes
work more
convenient.
This
featuremakes
it possible
to link
charts in
groups
according to
symbol name
or interval
(resolution).
Each group
is
identified
by one of
the 14
different
colors. When
a symbol or
the
resolution
is changed
for any one
chart of the
group, the
changes will
automatically
be applied
to the rest
of the
linked
charts.
Unique to
MultiCharts
is the
ability to
link not
only
different
Chart
Windows, but
SubCharts
within the
same window
as well.
Load
State Gauge
Load State
Gauge lets
you be sure
that the
data you are
looking at
is the
real-time
data. If
system
resources
are
insufficient
to process
all of the
streaming
data in real
time, the
Gauge
becomes red
and display
the number
of quotes in
the queue
and the lag
in seconds.

Performance &
Scalability
MultiCharts
software
architecture is
based on the
multithreaded
programming
model that
implies
scalability and
utilizes
hardware
resources to the
fullest possible
extent. By
running parallel
tasks on each
processor,
multithreading
takes advantage
of multi-core
CPU technologies
and dramatically
improves the
system
performance.
MultiCharts
allocates a
separate CPU
thread to each
chart window.
Thus, if you
have a quad-core
computer and are
plotting 4
charts, each
core will be
utilized. This
feature allows
processing data
and calculating
indicators in
real-time with
no latency. If
you are
optimizing a
strategy,
MultiCharts uses
all the
available cores.
The reduction in
time required
for optimization
is in direct
proportion to
the number of
cores.
MultiCharts
technology is
also
multiple-monitor
friendly,
allowing
multiple chart
windows to be
detached from
the main
application and
displayed across
all of the
available
monitors
simultaneously.
