How to Get Multiple Charts in 1 Chart Window
Want to trade two types of charts in one chart window? This video will teach you how. Doing so will quickly let you get a glimpse of different types of market activity. You can run a 1-Minute chart alongside a 5-Minute chart, for example. On each chart, you can have the appropriate indicator. In other words, you could scalp on the 1-Minute chart and using the Atlas Line on the 5-Minute.
It is also possible to add a panel for the ATR and place it in between the two charts. The video shows this. This is a good configuration because you can see when signals match up or confirm one another, or when one filters out another, in order to decide to take a trade or to skip. Because the ATR is used as a volatility, profit target, and stop loss indicator, it makes sense to have its position centralized within the chart.
In case you are wondering, the Trade Scalper is used in this video. A 1-Minute chart is on top and a 5-Minute chart below. One DayTradeToWin testimonial is written by someone who likes to confirm movement on both chart types. He does not indicate that he uses the Atlas Line or any other indicator. This may be an indication he’s only using the Trade Scalper, which is interesting, because it may appeal to you as all all-encompassing scalping trading method.
If you prefer not to have multiple chart types within one charting window, you may separate charts into tabs using the tab area on the bottom of the chart. This way, you can select among the tabs/charts as needed. If you happen to look at multiple charts on a regular basis, perhaps having multiple chart windows will be your best option. In that case, you may want special software to position these charts to maximization organization and screen space. The DayTradeToWin website discusses software that will help you do this.
