The indicator is designed for visual multicurrency analysis. It allows synchronous scrolling and analysis of a few charts simultaneously.
The product can also be used for pairs trading. The indicator works both on Forex and Russian FORTS market. The product has a very important property - if there are skipped bars at the symbols, the synchronism of charts on the time axis is fully preserved.
Each chart point is strictly synchronous with the others on the time axis at any time frame. This is especially true in the stock market, as well as for low-liquidity symbols.
Price display method is colored candles.
The following values are displayed:
- Open prices/High/Low/Close - as a colored candle. The default colors are as follows: red candle - the price is falling (Close value is less than Open one), green candle - the price is rising (Close value exceeds Open one), yellow candle - the price is equal to the previous one (Close value is equal to Open one), gray candle - the price corresponds to the missing bar.
- Price levels - as horizontal dashed lines. They are often used as support/resistance levels.
- Current Bid/Ask/Last prices - as horizontal lines. Display, color and line style are specified by a user.
External parameters:
- Hedge Instrument Name - name of the symbol to be displayed on the chart that is synchronous to the main one. For example, "GBPUSD" (of course, quotation marks should be omitted when specifying a name).
- Instrument Show Name - name that should be displayed in the indicator window. You can use a custom name for an instrument as its original name can be too long and contain unnecessary information. If this field is left empty, the instrument name will be used.
