Adding and modifying a chart indicator (mobile)

Adding an indicator to a chart

Indicators are statistics that describe a product’s past price movements and which may be helpful in predicting future price movements. Five indicators are available: Bollinger Bands, stochastics, RSI, MACD and MA. Each can be configured in various ways. For example, the period (or periods) used in calculating values can be defined, and you can choose to overlay an indicator on the price chart or have the indicator replace the price chart.

Tip: An indicator is not specific to the chart it is added to, that is, until it is disabled it will appear on all other charts you display.
