Our charts sit in an advanced container that allows you to change to any of the 16 built-in themes.

The charting tools include built-in indicators and built-in line studies. Our ever-growing list of line studies includes tools like Fibonacci, Gann, Elliott Waves, ODDS Probability, Gartley, and more — all customizable so you can save your preferences. MetaStock charts are more intelligent than other charts: indicators auto-plot, drag-and-drop makes it easy to move objects around, and the advanced scroll bar lets you highlight and jump to areas of the chart for fast analysis.
