Chart Studies

Chart Studies use a stock's price movements, volume, and other historical information to attempt to find patterns that may indicate shifting price trends.

By learning what a particular study may be indicating and then applying that study to your charts, you may be able to identify trading opportunities, points of support or resistance at certain price thresholds, price trends, and more.

Setup Chart Studies by clicking the Studies drop-down above the chart.

NOTE: Interpreting studies is a complex subject, so it is recommended that you learn as much as possible about each study before incorporating its feedback into your trading strategy. Many books, web sites, and third party educators are available to further your understanding of Technical Analysis.
