The value cursor function allows the user to view the data associated
with any point in time on the chart on the data display bar on the
bottom. As the value cursor moves, the data on the data display
bar will refresh automatically to reflect the current date’s data,
similar to the example below. The current price of the value cursor’s
center point is also displayed on the price scale on the right and
will refresh automatically to reflect the current position’s price
as the cursor moves.

Key to Data Figures:
MP = Modal Point:
the red point in the bar; the price most heavily transacted for
the current bar's time interval.
MC = Modal Count:
the total number of 5-minute intervals in a trading day the modal
point has had at least one transaction (for daily charts)
AR = Active Range:
the body of the bar; roughly 70% of the current time interval's
transactions took place within this area; calculated by taking the
first standard deviation (+/-) of the normal distribution from the
midpoint (mean of all traded prices for the current time interval)
ET = Extreme Tails:
price ranges that have minimal trading activity caused by strong
resistance and/or support
Note that the bar will be colored if the closing price is below
the opening price while the bar will be white if the closing price
is above the opening price. If the price is unchanged, the bar will
be white. |
