Multiple Timeframes on one chart

• An important trading strategy is to analyze the trend of a stock based on different timeframes.  With Multiple Timeframes, different timeframes are synchronized when scrolling.  The synchronized timeframes provides more detailed analysis of a stock when comparing short, medium and long term trends which otherwise may not be apparent with other methods.
• If wish to retain the preferred multiple timeframes, then you should create a template.  The time frames are universal, not per stock.
• A stock can be inserted on to a chart with any time frame, for example – daily, weekly or monthly.  Chart Style, location, colour and scale can all be selected from the relevant tab.

• In addition, the Multiple Timeframe option allows you in one chart to have multiple stocks and multiple time frames.  For example, you could compare two banking stocks CBA and NAB in the same chart.  This allows for synchronized scrolling in the chart to better compare performance of each stock.
• An interesting option is to overlay a different timeframe on the same stock rather than ‘side by side’ as with a new pane.  This can be particularly effective with Candlesticks. 

• To change the time period of a stock, select the price plot with your cursor then from the drop down menu select a new time period just for that stock. 

• To change the stock in that pane, select the stock then from the main Symbol drop down box then press Enter on your keyboard.

• To add volume for the secondary price plot, use Insert/Indicators then Volume.  In the Price Plot parameter, select the price plot that you wish to link the Volume to.

• To inset an indicator on any timeframe, select Insert/Indicator.  For the relevant indicator, select the price plot to link the indicator to.  The location will be automatically selected or may be changed by clicking the Next button then the Location tab.

Relative Strength Comparison

• Relative Strength Comparison (RSC) allows you to effectively compare a stock against an index using the scale for both.  This helps to analyze the stock’s performance compared to the index.
• To insert an RSC, select Insert/Security.  Enter the index, for example XAO.  The timeframe is not relevant as this is determined by the stock. Select the Scale tab, then Relative Strength Comparison. A list of stock price plots on the chart will display. 

• Select the stock you wish to compare with the index.  The location is automatically selected as an overlay on the price plot.  The location can be changed to a different pane by using the Location tab.
• Once inserted, a line will overlay the share price chart with a new scale on the left hand side.

General

• New option to move panes up and down in a Chart window.  Right click of the mouse on the chart then select Panes then Move…

• For Candlesticks, an option to have the Colour Method as transparent.  Useful when overlaying one candlestick on another candlestick. 
• Modify the Info Window to display data per stock
• Redesign the Insert Security menu for Multiple Timeframes

• Able to apply a Relative Strength Comparison (RSC) to any price plot on the chart rather than the primary plot.  A new Scale tab has options to select which stock to apply the RSC to.

• Add in the download time for the daily data.
• Use of + and – keys to zoom in and out on chart while viewing a watchlist.
• Overlay candle weekly on candle daily

• Option to set the minimum zoom.  The zoom factor should be equal or more than the value for the right margin.  Useful if viewing intraday data and require more precision.  Set right margin to 1 and zoom to 10 for the best effect with intraday data.

• Option to display the indicator parameters in the title bar of a window pane from Tools/Chart Properties. 

• Option to add text to an icon.  The text can be displayed with the icon or minimised.  When minimised, the text is display in a tooltip when you use the cursor to hover over the icon.
• Option in Tools/Preferences to display the location of the BullCharts files.

• Tooltip displays the time frame for the selected plot.
