Usage scenarios

Displaying other currency pairs on charts for analysis

Using the Chart Overlay Indicator, you can analyze while displaying other currency pairs within a single chart. For example, when analyzing EURUSD, you can additionally display the price movement of GBPUSD, which tends to move in correlation, on the EURUSD chart.

Adjustable rate display intervals

Since each currency pair has different rates, you can display their rates at customizable intervals. Rate display can be adjusted from hidden to showing fewer rates.

Display up to 5 symbols for multi-angle analysis

Up to 5 price movements can be displayed in a single chart, allowing you to analyze USD-based market trends by displaying major dollar straight currency pairs like USDJPY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, and USDCAD.

Reverse price movements for new perspectives

You can analyze currency pairs from different perspectives by reversing the display, such as converting USDJPY to JPYUSD. For example, when comparing EURUSD and GBPUSD with USDJPY, converting USDJPY to JPYUSD allows comparison with all pairs having USD as the settlement currency.

The Chart Overlay Indicator shows charts for multiple symbols on a single screen, making it easy to compare and analyze them.
