While conventional trading platforms simply provide you with the most basic of charting features, TradeStation provides you with charting and alert capabilities you won't find in any other trading platform. For starters, there are no limits on the number of bars you can have on a chart, so you can make full use of TradeStation's extensive historical database to chart enormous amounts of bars when testing trading systems. And that's just the beginning. TradeStation offers you customizable features designed to give you unprecedented charting flexibility, including:

• Advanced Custom Charting
• Custom PaintBar & ShowMe Studies
• Multi-Data Charts
• Intelligent Drawing Tools
• Custom Indicators with Alerts   

TradeStation's EasyLanguage technology is the industry standard for describing trading strategies. In addition to offering TradeStation users the unique ability to design and test virtually any custom trading concept of their own, it's also used by well-known traders and published in major trade publications and industry articles that describe new trading concepts.

TradeStation lets you easily create charts for any custom time interval (e.g., 2-minute or 7-minute). To change a chart's time interval, simply type the time period and click "Enter." Not only is the chart updated, but all indicators, studies and trendlines on your chart are recalculated and redrawn for you automatically. Up to 30 years of daily data, and over 13 years of stock and futures intraday data is available on demand. Plus, you can plot 3rd party data that will enable you to plot proprietary data or data for exotic markets.

TradeStation offers you an extensive range of chart types to choose from aside from the standard bar chart. These include: Bar, Candlestick, Dot on Close, Line on Close, Point and Figure and Percent Change charts. TradeStation also gives you the ability to view bar charts based on single tick or multiple ticks, or number of shares traded. So, you'll also be able to choose from user defined TickBar™, user defined VolumeBar™, Intraday/Minute, and Daily, Weekly and Monthly compressions. You can even test strategies and view charts on pre-market hours only, post-market hours only, pre- and post-market hours combined, or any custom times you define.

TradeStation's Multi-data Chart gives you the additional ability to combine multiple symbols and/or time intervals on one chart. You can have up to 16 subgraphs per chart. The maximum number of sub-graphs in Chart Analysis has been doubled, from 8 to 16. And by using the Global Cursor feature, you'll be able to highlight the same time period simultaneously across all the charts on your workspace, which makes comparing related symbols and charts easier. In addition, Price Axis Scaling in Chart Analysis has been enhanced to give you greater functionality and flexibility in the way symbols and indicators are displayed and can be combined. Plus, the price axis can also be compressed or expanded by simply dragging it vertically allowing you to easily change the range encompassed by the price axis.

Unmatched Charting.

Exclusive charting features let you create and apply your own custom indicators and alerts and select data streams in a full range of chart types and compressions.
