How to Use the Multichart View and Watchlist

The watchlist

• Instruments are grouped and collapsible, for example Volatility, Volatility (1s) and Boom & Crash.
• Each row shows the live price, its change and its percentage change.
• Rows flash green or pink with each price tick, so movement is easy to spot.
• Sort the list to put what matters first, and select an instrument to trade it.

The multichart view

1. 1Open several charts in one window to show markets together, for example Volatility 100 (1s), Boom 150, EUR/USD and AUD Basket.
2. 2Give each chart its own timeframe, from ticks to minutes.
3. 3Mix area and candlestick views.
4. 4Sync charts using the link control on each one.
5. 5Choose your layout from the toolbar.
6. 6Close any chart with one click.

How to use them together

• Scan the watchlist for instruments that are moving, then open them in the multichart view to compare.
• Remember that different markets behave differently. Volatility Indices and Boom and Crash are simulated, while forex pairs follow real currency markets.
• Pick your market, then set up your bot in the Trading Panel.

• Boom and CrashBoom and Crash indices drift slowly in one direction and then spike sharply the other way at random moments. The number in the name tells you how often, on average.
