Chart reference

Everything you can stack on a price series

A Chartboard chart is a stack of components sharing a common period axis. Stack items may be shuffled, enabled, disabled, added and removed. All of it is serialised and persistent across chart instances, with custom URLs and copy-paste.

Period units

The workspace supports these switchable data period units:

  • Yearly
  • Quarterly
  • Monthly
  • Weekly
  • Daily — both 5 and 7 day weeks

The ribbon UI switches units for all chart categories, with automatic context swapping and serialisation. Market stepping and playback are available for every period unit.

Chart categories

  • Classic OHLC stack — bar, candlestick and line — with overlays, stacked oscillators and indicators, mark-ups, drawing and inspection tools.
  • Point and Figure variants: traditional, percent and manual.

Grid properties exist for all of the above. Charts are fully serialised, so they may be copied, pasted and exchanged.

The OHLC stack

The classic stack is constructed from any ordered combination of the following components, sharing a common period axis:

  • Legend
  • OHLC — bar, candles, Heikin-Ashi, lines and steps — on a linear or log10 axis
  • Overlays
  • Stacked oscillators and indicators
  • Mark-ups
  • Drawing, regression curve fitting and inspection tools, including Python scripting hints and help

Chart instances are serialised and persistent, with customisable URLs, copy-paste and community sharing. Market replay with stepping works for all period units.

Overlays

OHLC charts may be decorated with combinations of the following:

  • Bollinger Bands (BB)
  • Chandelier Exit — short and long
  • Ichimoku Cloud
  • Ehlers MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA)
  • Harmonic patterns, bullish and bearish — Cypher, Shark, Bat, Butterfly, Crab, Gartley
  • Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
  • Keltner channels
  • Simple (SMA) and Exponential (EMA) moving averages
  • Guppy's Multiple Moving Averages (MMA) and 3D Rainbow
  • Parabolic Set and Retrace (SAR)
  • Pivot points — standard, Fibonacci, DeMark
  • Price channels (Donchian)
  • Price by Volume (PBV) and Price by Shorts (PBS)
  • Reversals — key, hook, open-close
  • Signalines (EMA and SMA) for various oscillators and indicators
  • Tom DeMark indicators — TD Sequential, Combo, Countdown — and moving averages (TD I)
  • Volume and shorts — bars, line or opposing
  • Zig-Zag with annotations

Overlays are serialised and persistent across chart instances, with customisable URLs and copy-paste. Certain overlays support robo buy and sell signals, and all overlays support Python scripting.

Oscillators and indicators

Multiple items from the following list can be selected to form the classic OHLC chart stack:

  • Aroon
  • Average Directional Index (ADX)
  • Average True Range (ATR)
  • Chaikin and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
  • Coppock
  • Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
  • Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO)
  • Ehlers Fisher Transform (EhlerFT)

  • Linear or Quadratic Regression Oscillator (SLOPE)
  • Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA)
  • Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
  • Money Flow Index (MFI)
  • On Balance Volume (OBV)
  • Place markers — shades and mark-ups
  • Price variation bars, absolute and percent (PBars)
  • Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO)
  • Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)
  • Percentage Volume Oscillator (PVO)
  • Rate of Change (ROC)
  • Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic RSI (StochRSI)
  • Stochastic — fast, slow and full (STO)
  • Triple smoothed exponential moving average (TRIX)
  • True Strength Index (TSI)
  • Volatility / standard deviation (STDDEV)
  • Volume and shorts — line, bars and opposing bars
  • Vortex indicator (VTX)
  • Williams %R (Wm%R)

Selections support mark-ups, drawing and inspection tools. Stack items may be shuffled, enabled, disabled, added and removed, and are serialised and persistent across chart instances with custom URLs and copy-paste. Certain items support robo buy and sell signals, and all oscillators and indicators support Python script integration.

Mark-ups

OHLC category charts support the following mark-ups:

  • Event series — G20, FOMC meetings and the like (Events)
  • Time bars and lines (Timelines)
  • Portfolio positions (Trades) and payments (Dividends)
  • Modelling positions (Modelling)
  • Robo buy and sell signals
  • Tags

Serialised and persistent across chart instances, with customisable URLs and copy-paste.

Drawing and inspection tools

Numerous tools exist for drawing and illustrating OHLCv chart trends:

  • Trends — lines, wedges, channels and flags
  • Fibonacci retracements, zones and fans
  • Shapes — blocks, ellipses and circles
  • Harmonic patterns, bullish and bearish — Gartley, Butterfly, Bat, Crab, Shark, Cypher
  • Support and resistance bars, period bars
  • Cursors for inspection, market replay and advisors
  • Fitted regression curves — linear, polynomial, exponential, Sornette's LPPL bubbles
  • Tags and notes

Serialised and persistent across chart instances, with copy-paste.

Sharing

Charts and data leave the workspace by four routes:

Files
Manual exchange of workspaces, data spaces, charts and data sets.
Email
Images, charts and data sets as attachments.
Web integration
Activation of customised third-party web references — reference wikis, training video sites, blogs, trading sites, stock home pages and statistics providers.
AI integration
Third-party AI is reachable via Python scripts run as clients of the workspace. The diagnostics console and the Python inspection cursor are available for debugging those scripts from inside Chartboard.

Configured URLs are samples only, and should not be taken as endorsements — nor their contents as valid.
