Charting Overview
Chart Types
Chart Time Frames
Symbol Management
Chart Types

You can chose from eleven (11) built-in chart types: line, candlestick, bars, point and figure, renko, kagi, three line break, equivolume, equivolume shadow, candle volume, heikin ashi.

Chart Time Frames

You can plot time frames from tick / second / minute all the way up to daily, weekly and monthly. You can also plot time frames built out of any custom number of ticks, seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks.

Symbol Management

You can plot single symbol, multi-symbol as well as composite symbol charts:

  • Single symbol charts can be built out of any local data file or streaming data source;
  • Multi-symbol can be on a % scale in the same panel or on individual price scales in different panels;
  • Composites can be any combination of any number of individual instruments, sourced from local data files or streaming data sources.
Tools & Annotations

You have a large choice of chart tools and annotations in the S-Trader’s charting engine.

  • Lines: Trendline, Trendchannel, Vertical Line, Horizontal Line, Speed Lines, Gann Fans, Tirone Levels, Quadrant Lines, Freehand Drawing;
  • Fibonaccis: Retracements, Extensions, Arcs, Fan, Time Zones
  • Channels: Raff Regression, Error Channels
  • Text: Text, Callouts
  • Shapes: Ellipse, Rectangle
  • Symbols
Chart Studies

The S-Trader charting engine has a wide selection of built-in technical studies. Additionally, you can easily define any custom study you want using the platform's available Quant Script engine.

There are over one hundred built-in technical studies available, conveniently grouped in nine different categories:

  • Moving Averages
  • Envelopes
  • Price Oscillators
  • Money Flow Oscillators
  • Trend Indicators
  • Volatility Studies
  • Statistics
  • SVA Studies
  • Chart-only Studies
Trade Support Elements

You can define expert advisers to show occurrences on charts. You can apply one-to-many advisers on one-to-many symbols on every chart.

Expert advisers previously defined can be used to build consensus reports in any time frame to determine the frequency of occurrence of certain events over any period of time.

Chart Trading

You can manage orders and trade straight from charts.

Trading Systems

Apply systems steps on charts and monitor system status in the trade panel.

Chart Settings

You can edit any aspect of your chart’s looks via the chart settings menu:

  • Chart Colors;
  • Scale Formats;
  • Bar Density;
  • Display Settings. 
Chart Templates

You can save preferred chart settings, including built-in and custom studies and their formats, as chart templates that can be subsequently applied very easily to other charts.

Line Chart

A line chart is the most basic and simplest type of chart that is used in technical analysis. The line chart is also called a close-only chart as it plots the closing price of the underlying security, with a line connecting the dots formed by the close prices of each successive period (tick, second, minute, hour, day, etc).

BarChart

One of the basic tools of technical analysis is the bar chart, where the open, close, high, and low prices of stocks or other financial instruments are embedded in bars which are plotted as a series of prices over a specific time period. Bar charts are often referred to as OHLC charts (open-high-low-close charts).

 

Candlestick

The Japanese began using technical analysis to trade rice in the 17th century. In order to create a candlestick chart, you must have a data set that contains open, high, low and close values for each time period you want to display. The hollow or filled portion of the candlestick is called “the body” (also referred to as “the real body”). The long thin lines above and below the body represent the high/low range and are called “shadows” (also referred to as “wicks” and “tails”).

Main Panel

By default, every chart will open with data for the instrument you requested:

Same Panel

Symbols can be added to the main panel, in which case the plots will become a performance chart:

Separate Panel

Symbols can be added to a new panel, in which case the plots will be independent:

Separate Tab

Symbols can also be added to a new tab, in which case you will end up with two independent charts hosted in the same chart frame for optimal performance and use of pixel space:

Live Data Composite Symbols

Composite symbols of any level of complexity can be plotted as a "close-only" - or line - chart in any desired time frame. The typical math operator rules apply and symbols must be inserted inside square brackets "[ Instrument Symbol ]".

For instance a composite symbol built as [QGC#]/[QSI#] would end up being plotted as a line chart of the Gold futures / Silver futures continuous contracts.

As another example, a composite symbol built as ([IRX.XO]-[FVX.XO])+([TNX.XO]-[TYX.XO]) would end up being plotted as a line chart of the sum between the 13 week minus the 5 year yield spread and the 10 year minus the 30 year yield spread:

Local Data Composite Symbols

Similarly, composite symbols of any level of complexity can be built out of local data files. To build Local Data Composites you must:

  • Peg the local data files using the Local Data dialog;

      

  • Alternatively, download data from a streaming provider;

       

  • Use the Local Composite Data dialog to build local data composite symbols; 

      

The typical math operator rules apply and symbols must be inserted inside square brackets "[ Instrument Symbol ]".  Local data composites will also be plotted as a "close-only" - or line - chart in the time frame they are created.

Unlimited custom studies.

Build any custom study you want using our built-in function library via the study editor or the study wizard. Use your custom studies on charts or inside expert advisers, portfolio systems, scripted alerts or loop trading systems. 

Create your own custom studies using the exceptionally versatile and easy-to-use Quant ScriptTM language. The language’s learning curve is minimal so users can write code very much “out of the box”.

For increased convenience, create your own custom studies using the drag-and-drop functionality of the Code Wizard. The Code Wizard is based off the same Quant ScriptTM language.

All your custom studies built by either the Code Editor or the Code Wizard can be easily managed. Each study can be: password protected, dragged-and-dropped to different groups, encrypted and exported.

Depending on your subscription level, we offer many custom studies at the server level. All these studies can be downloaded and used inside the S-Trader Desktop platform.

Equity valuation studies.

Valuation studies derived directly from company balance sheet data to understand and model intrinsic values. Compare benchmark and actual valuation multiples to understand how fundamental value is created or eroded.

The SVA equity valuation studies are extremely relevant to equity traders and investors. Thanks to our partnership with our friends at Strategic Analysis Corporation (1994), the S-Trader platform gives you the ability to plot popular technical studies and fundamental studies based on balance sheet analysis all in the same frame / window. In addition, the Quant ScriptTM engine allows you to write scripts using the built-in technical and statistical functions, the SVA equity valuation functions or a combination of both. The SVA equity valuation functions can in fact be nested at any iteration inside any other technical and statistical function for some truly powerful and objective analysis and scripting on the firm’s intrinsic value and stability, as they result directly from the firm’s balance sheet.

Edit chart names, export/import chart data to/from XL files, save charts as files, snapshots or images and pop charts up to manipulate them on larger pixel areas.

You can edit each chart’s name or price scale setup via context menu dialogs. These properties are further retained if the chart ends up being part of a specific workspace.

You can dock and undock charts to and from the platform, respectively; but you can also pop them up from their frame if you want to spread them in a specific way on a given pixel space.

You can save charts as images, snapshots containing all data as well as all other chart elements or you can store them in the Saved Charts panel for future use.

You can export charts data, including all plotted indicators, in Microsoft XL files. You can also import data from Microsoft XL files and display it on a chart provided you follow the appropriate column structure.
