The Chart Quotepage Wizard is a chart setup assistant that can create multiple chart displays from the list of instruments present in a quote page. The wizard can be opened from the File > Functions window, or by clicking the chart icon in the Quote Page toolbar when no particular row in the quote page is selected. After running a scan, for example, you can click the chart icon on the scan results quote page toolbar to quickly view an array of charts on the issues identified by the scan.
A bar shows a vertical line representing the high to low trading range for the bar. Tick marks on the left and right side of the vertical bar mark the open and closing price of the bar. Daily, weekly, and monthly bars are color coded with an up color or down color based on whether the closing price of the bar is higher or lower than the closing price of the prior bar.
