Timeline Chart
The timeline chart represents a chart within a time machine, which may have independent rate and time frame scales, as well as particular layers.
Content
In other words, a timeline chart—often referred simply as chart—is a set of information to be displayed over a timeline. The information may include candles—the main and foremost resource—as well as any other indicator, study or—in general—data products that may be available.
You may add as many charts as you wish. Charts within the same time machine are synchronized in the y-axis, that is, in the datetime dimension. Charts in different time machines are independent of each other concerning the datetime. In either case, you may also add rate scales and time frame scales at the timeline charts level.
Tip: When a Rate Scale or a Time Frame Scale are set up at the level of the Timeline Chart, they affect the layers on the said timeline chart only. This trick allows users to vertically position data, by manipulating the scale of the layers in the timeline chart independently from the scale of the rest of the charts, which are governed by the scales of the Time Machine.
The information that each timeline chart makes available on the screen is given by the layers set up in the corresponding layers manager.
