For the purposes of this example we will collect intraday history by collecting it as it occurs. History file import from another program you may have been using. Unless you have changed your Chart Period Preference you will have created a daily chart that looks like the one above. You can, however, begin tracking intrady charts immediately. Do this by changing the periodicity of the chart.
Periodicity is the time frame displayed in the chart.
The periodicity is changed by placing the cursor anywhere in the window of the chart and holding your mouse button down. A pop-up menu will appear that will enable you to change all characteristics of the chart, including the periodicity. Setting Up Multiple Charts You may wish to set up several different time frames for looking at the same intraday symbol. This will provide a look comprehensive look at the market in three different time frames. An analogy that represents this approach is that you are looking at the market simultaneously with a microscope, a magnifying glass, and plain eyesight.
