Charts: Objects Panel

Each chart window can display dozens of studies, lines, notes, arrows, and tools.  Each item placed on a chart is called a 'Chart Object'.  The Chart Objects for the active window can be viewed by clicking the Chart Objects button (or pressing Ctrl-O on the keyboard).  The Chart Objects window can also be displayed by selecting Chart Objects from the chart pop-up menu (right click the mouse on the chart). 

The displayed list of Chart Objects will include all studies, lines, and tools that are currently on the chart.  Each Chart Object can be customized by selecting the object from the list, and then clicking the Properties button.  Chart Objects can be removed from a chart by selecting the object (or group of objects), and then clicking the Delete button.  Remove all chart objects from a chart by clicking the Delete All button.

The objects in the list can be rearranged by selecting an item and then clicking the Up and Down arrows.  This will effect the order that studies are listed in the Chart Studies panel (on the left edge of the chart).  Studies are calculated in the order that they appear in the list.  Make sure that Studies on other Studies appear in the list after the root study.

A Color box is displayed on the top row of the Chart Objects windows.  The color of the box helps distinguish between multiple objects of the same type.  As Chart Objects are selected from the list, the color of the box will change to match the line color of the study.  The color box will also contain the object's study value.  The study value indicates the study parameter (ex. the number '10' would be displayed for a 10 period moving average).

Click the Report button to view a report of all the Chart Objects.  The report summarizes the chart objects and their property settings.  The report can be printed or e-mailed.  The report can be used to share your settings with other users.  The report may also be requested by Ensign Software Support to help duplicate or solve a charting problem.
