  • How to access and customize your TWS charts, so you can quickly visualize an event in real time;
  • Create multiple charts with different time periods in one panel;
  • Construct and save chart templates for future reuse;
  • Choose from a huge selection of chart studies, such as momentum and view an array of averages and stochastic tools;
  • Compare multiple stocks with different time periods or against an index to see relative performance;
  • And for those of you who want to trade directly from a chart, we’ll show you TWS ChartTrader.
  • And for Futures Traders, we’ll show you how to create a real-time and historical term structure of futures prices within a chart.
