Interactive Charts, however, share many of the same studies with Technical Charts. Some of the parameters may be slightly different between the two versions of charts. Unless otherwise specified, the parameters shown in this documentation are those used by the Technical Chart program.

When you switch between Technical, Interactive, or Classic Charts, any studies already on the chart are removed, as the indicators do not transfer.

Note:When adding multiple moving averages on a chart, the lines will be colored in this order: red, green, blue, purple, orange.

When adding an indicator to a Technical Chart, you can change the parameters of the study by clicking on the indicator name.

The area will expand, and allow you to enter the parameters of your choice.
