Historical charts
Historical Charts reflect the changes of the underlying asset's price over a selected time period. The charts are updated in real time.
The time period is shown by the x-axis, the price by the y-axis. The candlestick is based on the following parameters:
- Open – the opening price of the time interval
- High – the maximum price during the time interval
- Low – the minimum price during the time interval
- Close – the closing price of the time interval
You can create the chart via the context menu of the financial instrument in three places:
- The instrument board
- The option desk
- The positions table
Clicking on the Historical Chart command in the pop-up menu opens the historical chart. You can change the time range using the top toolbar.
