Historical Charts

The program maintains data on all symbols on a daily open, high, low & close basis. This data is stored in your DAYS.DAT datafile. Information from this datafile is used to build historical charts. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly charts can be displayed on any symbol, either by selecting a time base from the Rescale menu, or by entering the .DAY, .WEEK, .MONTH, .QUARTER, or .YEAR commands.
