Click on the button of the desired Instrument, and then confirm the selection with the “Apply >>” button that will appear after the selection. The “Auto” mode will use the current symbol name for automatic detection. The “<< Back” button allows you to close the panel without confirming the selection.
Histogram types panel
-
1 - Volume histogram
2 - Delta histogram
3 - Ask/Bid histogram
4 - Cumulative Delta chart (curve)
5 - Cumulative Volume by Bear/Bull bar type. If the current bar has the same type as previous, the previous cumulative volume value is added to the current value. So each new histogram bar becomes bigger than previous until the type of the closed bar will be different from previous.
6 - Cumulative Volume by positive/negative delta sign. Cumulation occurs as above, but the trigger for data cumulation is the sign of the delta value (positive or negative). The cumulation continues as long as the tendency of identical delta signs of consecutive bars remains.
When adding an indicator to a chart, priority is given to the input parameters. However, after making changes to the settings through the graphic panel, the indicator takes the current parameters from the graphic panel when the timeframe changes. In some cases, removing and re-attaching an indicator will help to solve a specific problem.
