Description

Ask Spinner

A red bar whose placement in the field represents the cents in the current best Ask price, relative to a dollar. A bar in the center of the field indicates that the cents value in the Ask price is close to $.50. A bar toward the left indicates that the cents value is closer to zero, and to the right indicates that it's approaching one dollar.

Bid Spinner

A green bar whose placement in the field represents the cents in the current best Bid price, relative to a dollar. A bar in the center of the field indicates that the cents value in the Bid price is close to $.50. A bar toward the left indicates that the cents value is closer to zero, and to the right indicates it's approaching one dollar.

Candlestick

A graphic representation of the direction and magnitude of price change. The wide end of the arrow represents the opening price, and the narrow end represents the last price. An arrow pointing to the right indicates that the price is higher than the previous close, and an arrow pointing to the left indicates that the price has dropped from the previous close. A brighter shade indicates a greater magnitude of price change.

Graphic Change

A graphic representation of the difference between the last price and the previous day's closing price. The arrow is centered in the field, and colored green if the last price is higher than the close, and colored red if it's lower. The longer the arrow the wider the difference between the two prices. The field accommodates graphing changes up to $2.00 below and $2.00 above the close.

Last Spinner

A magenta bar whose placement in the field represents the cents in the current Last price relative to a dollar. A bar in the center of the field indicates that the cents value in the Last price is close to $.50. A bar toward the left indicates that the cents value is closer to zero, and to the right indicates that it's approaching one dollar.

RSI

Requires a subscription to eSignal market data. The Relative Strength Index compares the magnitude of recent losses to recent gains and relays that comparison in the form of a number that ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 indicates weaker performance. For quick reference, the indicator shows a red bar if the RSI is less than 50, and a green bar otherwise. Bar size and color hue change based on the RSI value.

RSI Scaled

Requires a subscription to eSignal market data. The Relative Strength Index compares the magnitude of recent losses to recent gains and relays that comparison in the form of a number that ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 indicates weaker performance. The scaled version uses values from 20 to 80. For quick reference, the indicator shows a red bar if the RSI is less than 50, and a green bar otherwise. Bar size and color hue change based on the RSI value.

Range

A graphic comparison of the last price to the day's high and low. The indicator starts in the center of the field and moves toward the left (in red) as the last price approaches the day's low, and to the right (in green) as the last price approaches the day's high. If the last price equals the low or high, the bar changes color. You can elect to view the Range in three visual different modes, basic Range, Range 3D, and Range 3D Alert. Only the last shows a color change when the price equals the high or low.

Smart Spinner

A graphic representation of the cents in the current price relative to a dollar. If you hold a short position, the bar is red and represents the cents in the Ask price. If you hold a long position, the bar is green and represents the cents in the Bid price. For contracts in which you hold no position, the bar is gray, and represents the cents in the Last price. A bar in the center of the field indicates that the cents value in the price is close to $.50. A bar toward the left indicates that the cents value is closer to zero, and to the right indicates that it's approaching one dollar.
