These instructions will explain how you can open a basic chart in Bodhi5. The purpose of this feature is simply to display a chart. It will not do any complex charting or technical analysis. If you require a more in depth charting program you may be interested in other software, such as EzyChart.

There are two ways you can open a chart in Bodhi5.

Opening a chart from a Watch or Portfolio list

If you have created Watch lists or Portfolio lists you can open a chart directly from the front page. If you don't know how to create these lists, refer to these instructions:

1. Open Bodhi5. The Watch and Portfolio lists display on the startup screen.

   

2. Click on either a Watch or Portfolio tab to make it active.
3. Locate the symbol for the chart you want to view and click on it so it is highlighted. Then right-click on it and select Chart from the drop-down box.

   

4. The following chart screen will display:

   

   At the top of the screen you will see the format tab. If you download to multiple formats or you update this symbol to numerous directories you will have a chart for each one.

Please Note: these charts may look different due to some formats having padded data and depending on the events settings you have chosen for each directory.
