Chart Container: Tab Chart Group

 

Create a tab chart group

A Tab Chart Group is a chart container that simultaneously opens multiple charts for various instruments and shows the symbols for instruments in the bottom tab bar.

 

 

AgenaTrader is able to display hundreds of instruments within 4 charts in different time frames. All charts within a tab chart group container display real time data.
 

In order to open a tab chart group inside the container use one of the options:''

1. Select Tab Chart Group by using Main -> New -> Chart container or
2. click the icon in the application toolbar within the main window.

You can make the following changes using the tab chart group definition popup:

Parameter Meaning Instrument List The name of the instrument list to be displayed on the scanner list. You can set this manually or select from the drop down list. Fav. Check this box if you wish to assign the current instrument list to your favorite lists. The "favorite" instrument list will be offered as the first option for the next LCG/TCG created. Price style Candle, bar, line chart, etc. or if you have chosen a template "From Template". Bars count Defines the number of periods Time period Defines the time interval, from the start date to the end date (days back), for which the chart should display the data.

Right click on the symbol and select the Mark item menu option to pick a color for the tab.

AgenaTrader ++ (plus plus) setups in tab chart groups

Once AgenaTrader++ plusplus is activated in a chart within the tab chart group, the system may suggest orders using the defined strategy according to the market events.
If this happens you will see a marker with a grey dot next to the name of the corresponding instrument inside the chart group / tab chart group.

Later on, the long position in a chart group or tab chart group will be marked with a green dot and the short position with a red dot.

 

 

Reload the Tab Chart Group

Tab chart group lists should be distinguished from instrument lists.

If, for example, you expand your instrument list with another instrument (Currency-Long-List), the newly added instrument will not be shown automatically in the TabChartGroup.
It is necessary to reload the TabChartGroup together with the Instrument List (Currency-Long-List).

AgenaTrader enables you to select and reload multiple instrument lists using the Reload Instrument List menu item.
Please note that these selections will only be valid for the chosen tab chart group.

This makes it possible to choose the Reload Selected menu option to update the edited lists for the current tab chart group on a daily basis.

This is especially useful if you wish to retrieve the current configuration of a dynamic instrument list or stock EOD Screener Presets on a daily basis.
