	IQChart 5 Downloadable Components What are downloadble components? How do I download a component? How can I choose to show or hide a component? What overlays are currently available? What indicators are currently available? Can I suggest an overlay or component to be added? What are downloadable components Downloadable components are additional, optional features that can be included into IQChart 5. There are thousands of overlays and indicators that have been written over the years. To include every indicator or overlay would make IQChart bulky and inefficient. IQChart includes a suite of many of the most powerful and profitable overlays and indicators. Depending on your preference or trading style, there may be indicators or overlays that you would like to use that are not included in the default install. Using the IQChart 5 download feature, you can customize the toolset to fit your personal needs. Back to Top How do I download a component? You can download and install a new component, by bringing up the "Chart Preferences" dialog. This dialog is accessed by picking "preferences" from the Chart menu. On the left hand side of the dialog you will see three download options. Download Overlays Download Indicators Download Annotations When you select one of these, a list of downloadable components for that type will be displayed in the right hand side of the dialog. To download, click on the name of the component you wish to install (the name will become highlighted) and then click on the "Download" button at the bottom of the dialog. After the component is downloaded, it will be visible in the menu for the overlays or indicators. Back to Top How can I choose to show or hide a component?
