Chart
The "Chart" widget is a modern chart analysis tool allowing you to intuitively provide the most important functions and views. The charts automatically adjust to the individual security types.
Use the following chart types for your analysis:
- Line chart
- Mountain chart
- OHLC chart
- Candlestick chart
The "Chart Analysis" widget also provides additional chart types.
You can also display revenues, benchmarks or the moving average and modify the analysis period.
The aggregation of the charts takes place automatically depending on the set period:
- Intraday charts (1 hour to 14 days): Aggregation minutes
- Charts from 3 weeks to 5 years: Aggregation days
- Charts longer than 5 years: Aggregation weeks
The "Chart Analysis" widget also offers additional chart types and many other technical indicators.
Point to the chart lines to show the price information for a particular time.
The date is shown on the time axis, the respective price is shown in the legend. In the settings of the widget, this display can be changed to "Tooltip".
If you have shown the volume, then the number of units is shown there when you point the mouse at the chart lines.
In addition to the Standard elements, the "Chart" widget has the following elements and functions:
Element | Description |

If a "Chart" widget with the "1 day" setting is in a group of widgets, then the view of a fund is automatically set to 3 days. If the fund is then set to another security type in one of the grouped widgets, then the period is also reset to "1 day" in the chart. |

By using the Widget settings, you can also display the values of the y-axis (ordinate) outside the chart.
For derivatives, two absolute axes are displayed by default for the instrument and the associated underlying. This means that, for example, any barriers or caps that may be present can also be displayed correctly.

Legend | In the legend displayed in the lower right corner of the widget, you see which chart lines are associated with which security or indicator.
(In this example, "SMA (200)" is the indicator "Moving average on 200 day basis", "TECDAX" is the benchmark.) You can remove displayed benchmarks or indicators from the legend: Point to the legend entry you want to remove. This displays a remove icon behind it, which you can use to quickly remove this chart line.
You can show or hide the legend by using the Settings. |
