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.

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.
  1. Download Overlays
  2. Download Indicators
  3. 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.

How can I choose to show or hide a component?
With IQChart5, you can customize the overlays and indicators menu to just show the tools that you use reguarly and hide items that are not of interest.

The following description is for the Overlays menu, but applies to the indicators menu as well.

  1. Click on the Overlays menu
  2. Choose 'customize overlays menu' (this will be the last choice in the list)
  3. A new dialog window will be visible. The left hand pane shows the overlays that are displayed in the Overlays menu. The right hand pane shows overlays that are installed on the system, but are not currently being displayed in the interface.
  4. To remove an item: select the item in the "visible" pane, and click the "remove" button
  5. To add an item: select the item in the "hidden" pane, and click the "add" button
  6. When you have the menu customized to your needs, click the "OK" button
