Description of the PRO-CHARTS program

PRO-CHARTS is a system of technical analysis, based on the Java technology. PRO-CHARTS is designed for acquiring market quotes and their analysis in real time. For getting access to PRO-CHARTS, you have to register a demo account or a real account.

Demands to the computer

You can use PRO-CHARTS when working on any computer supporting Versions 1.1 of the Java language. PRO-CHARTS has been tested by implementators with some of the most popular browsers on the platforms Windows 95-98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. It is recommended to use Internet Explorer Version 5 as the browser. If you use earlier versions, as well as Netscape Navigator and Opera, you may have some difficulties, because these browsers do not always work correctly with Windows.

In order to work with PRO-CHARTS you will need a quick-working computer and browser, because the programs are based on the modern Java technology. It will give you certain advantages. First of all, the Java programs do not depend on the platform. Secondly, you don't have to install any programs. Loading of Java applets in the Internet takes less than a minute, but your browser has to support Java and JavaScript.

To feel comfortable yourself, it's advisable to have a computer with the processor Intel Pentium from 450 MHz or an equally quick processor. If the speed of your computer is less, all the functions of PRO-CHART will be available, but some of them can be executed with a delay.

PRO-CHARTS does not demand a very quick connection to the Internet. When the charts are loaded, watching the market and exchange with the server slowed down considerably, and even the slowest channel will be enough. However, if your processor is slow, initial loading of charts will be relatively slow as well. On the Channel 33Kbps PRO-CHARTS loads in less than 30 seconds, and the charts in about 5 seconds.

Starting PRO-CHARTS

You can start PRO-CHARTS in two ways. If you are going to work with the terminal and PRO-CHARTS at the same time, you have to tick checkbox "PRO-CHARTS" when you insert your login and password into the form of the terminal's entrance for registered users (in the left part of the page, below the menu). The program will start automatically together with the terminal. There's no need to insert login and password again.

If you need only PRO-CHARTS, click the reference in the upper part of page "Start PRO-CHARTS". In any case, in some time (as a rule, in 30 to 40 seconds) the main window of the program will be started in a separate browser window.

If you started the program without the terminal, to activate it you have to insert your login (code) and password you received after the registration of your demo or real account by mail. Click Login and wait for the end of the verifying process on your server. The process is reflected in the row of state in the middle of the program window.

Saving user settings

When working with PRO-CHARTS, there's an opportunity for you to save your user settings. It means that you won't have to create the window with all the necessary indicators every time you enter the charts. It's enough to save preferable parameters. To save the configuration you have to tick checkbox Save Settings on Logout on the main PRO-CHARTS panel. All the settings will be saved automatically when you exit from PRO-CHARTS (if at the moment of exiting the windows with the charts are closed, your settings will be deleted). If there's no need to save configuration, remove the tick.

When you enter the PRO-CHARTS program again, the windows with the charts will open automatically in the same condition as they were working when you saved your user settings for the last time. User settings can be saved without exiting from PRO-CHARTS, In this case click Save Settings Now. The current settings for all the windows with charts opened at the moment will be saved.

Quotes in the window Current Quotes

If your login and password are verified by your server, the table Current Quotes will open in another small window. This window is for getting current quotes in the FOREX market.

In the upper left corner of the table there's a clock showing current time (GMT). The time on the clock is renewed constantly. You can watch the quality of communication by the frequency of the renewal. If the clock stops, it means that communication broke somewhere in the computer network on the way from the server to PRO-CHARTS, and the information cannot go through. The left column contains the names of traded currencies. The columns show the stream of current quotes Last, Bid, Ask. Decreasing numerical meanings of quotes are marked in red, increasing numerical meanings, in green. The gray background means that the quotes have not changed. Please note again that the quotes shown in the window are indicative.
