Make a trading graph

Click the ‘Graph’ tab and choose whether you want to create a daily or weekly performance graph and whether you want a ‘Point’ or ‘Spread’ graph.

A point graph shows the mid price (between the buy and sell price)
A spread graph shows the full price range between the buy and sell prices.


Create market trading graphs 

Move the ‘Slider’ left and right to look at past price information at different points in the day. You can also make the graph compact to fit more information in the window.

Move the vertical bar along the graph to view past buy and sell prices at various points in the day/week. The horizontal bars show the highest and lowest prices of the day/week.
