To remove a study from your chart, return to the Studies tab, highlight the unwanted series, and click Remove from the center column.Īs you can see from the Toolbar configuration menu, there are many icons to choose from. When ready to add to your chart, click Apply or OK. Each study also has its own color assigned which can be changed. You may also create a name in this input field. To change the value for each – let’s say one to 10 period and the other to 50 period - just click each study one at a time and edit the length. Under the Applied Studies dialogue box, you’ll see that both studies use the same default nine period simple moving average. In this case, since I want to compare two simple averages, I’ll add the selection a second time. For example, I’ll type the word simple to narrow down all selections to find the Simple Moving Average.Ĭlick on the selection you want to add to the chart and then click the Add button in the center column.

While the Studies tab follows the same category format, you can easily scour for all available fields using the search dialogue box. When you hover your cursor over any of these categories, you’ll see an expanded list, and if you wish to see all studies using the tab format, click the See All Studies button at the bottom of the menu. To the right of the Studies icon is a white dropdown arrow, which when selected, will list groups of studies by category. Let’s add the study icon to the toolbar if it’s not already visible. Use the Add Study icon to quickly apply them from the chart’s Toolbar. TWS also has a long list of technical studies. For example, let’s add the Vix index to this chart. Where the stock has outpaced the benchmark index, for example, it will appear higher on the right axis in comparison to the index.Īt the bottom of the Index Comparison tab, you may add alternative benchmarks for display. So, if the underlying and index under comparison have changed in price by the same percent over the duration of the selected time period, each will reach the right axis in the same place. The indices and the underlying will each begin at the same place on the left axis.Īlthough not displayed, the performance of an index relative to the underlying, is visually accurate and measured using percentage gain. Simply select any index you wish to compare your underlying to and click Apply. Let’s switch now to the Index Comparisons tab within Chart Settings. If you want to compare both tickers as line charts, use the Time Period dropdown, follow the time period through to locate ‘line’.Ĭlick Add Financial instrument icon again to request additional tickers by typing in the input field or remove them from the display by clicking the red ‘x’ button at the right of each line.

My original ticker will display in whatever candle, line or bar format I had already selected, and the additional series will be displayed as a line. You can make various selections from the Source dropdown menu, including like for like prices and those related to options, volatility levels and loan costs.Ĭhoose the Axis Selection to either keep both tickers on a Primary axis or have one on a secondary axis, which you may need to do when comparing significantly different prices. Add any other ticker – perhaps that of a competitor – just by entering the ticker into the Underlying box. If I now hover above the Add Financial Instrument icon and click it, TWS creates a Chart Settings window that goes to the Secondary Series tab. I’ll click OK to close the Chart Parameters window. Now, the familiar Chart settings window appears as we’ve explored in another lesson and you can see across the top of the page tabs associated with adding a financial instrument, a study, secondary series and comparing to an index.įrom the Chart Parameters tab, you can change the Underlying ticker, change the Time Period or bar type, create additional data for display and so on. Let’s take a look at one of the icons by checking the Chart Parameters icon. While clicking the ‘x’ button will hide the toolbar, you can add it using the View dropdown menu above the chart and clicking on the radio button.
