Price Chart
Last updated 2026-09-16
This screen draws the price history of one name, with volume under it and a long library of indicators over it. It is one of the chart screens in RingMaster, the product Ohey Inc publishes.
At a glance
- What you see. Bars for one name, candlesticks by default. Volume sits underneath. Switch to a bar chart, a plain line, Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, point and figure and more from the type menu.
- Ranges and bars. Five days out to five years, or your own two dates. Each bar is a day, a week, a month, a quarter or a year.
- Zoom and pan. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan. Hold shift and drag to box a stretch of time and zoom straight to it. Double click to reset. On a phone, pinch to zoom and drag with two fingers to pan.
- Indicators. A long list of readings, each a plain function of the bars: moving averages, bands, RSI, MACD and dozens more. An overlay draws on the price itself. A sub-pane draws below it in its own strip.
- Follows desk, or Pinned. The button beside the ticker box. Following, the chart moves with the desk's name. Pinned, it holds its own name.
- Sync groups. Put two or more charts in the same group. They share the visible dates and the crosshair, so you can compare two names side by side, bar for bar.
- The E marks. A date the company published its results. The mark says when, and nothing about what the results were.
- What it shows. It draws what traded. The chart shows the market's own record. It restates the bars; it does not add a view of its own about what comes next.
- Key difference. The Price Chart is the market's record. The Market Scan is our model's ranking of names.
Chart types
Candlestick is the default: a box from the open to the close, and a thin line from the low to the high. Green closed above its open, red closed below.
Fourteen more types are one click away in the type menu:
| Type | What it draws |
|---|---|
| Hollow candle | The same box, filled only when the close sits under the open |
| Bar (OHLC) | A tick left for the open, a tick right for the close |
| HLC bar | The same tick, right side only |
| Line | Just the close, joined trading day to trading day |
| Area | The close, filled down to the bottom of the pane |
| Baseline | The close, filled above and below its first visible value |
| Step | The close, held flat until the next bar |
| Heikin Ashi | A smoothed candle, built from the average of neighbouring bars |
| Renko | A brick for every fixed price move, one direction at a time |
| Kagi | A line that only turns when price moves against it by a set percent |
| Point and figure | Columns of X and O, one column per sustained move |
| Line break | A new line only when the close passes recent extremes |
| Equivolume | A candle whose width shows how many shares traded |
| Range bars | A new bar every time price moves a fixed amount |
Every type is drawn from the same bars. None of them adds information the bars did not already carry.
Ranges, bars and scale
The range buttons run from five days to five years, or the whole five year file. You can also drag across the chart or type two dates for your own range.
The bar buttons set what one bar covers: a day, a week, a month, a quarter or a year. A folded bar takes the first open, the highest high, the lowest low, the last close and the total volume for its period.
The scale buttons switch the price axis between an even scale and a logarithmic one, where equal space means equal percent change rather than equal dollars. A third button flips the axis, and a fourth rebases every line to zero at the first visible bar so two names can be read together.
Zoom and pan
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Scroll or trackpad swipe | Zoom in on the bar under the pointer |
| Shift and scroll | Pan sideways |
| Drag inside the chart | Pan by whole bars |
| Shift and drag | Box a stretch of time, then zoom straight to it |
| Drag the date axis | Stretch or compress time from the middle |
| Drag the price axis | Set your own price range |
| Double click | Reset to the chosen range |
| Pinch, on a phone | Zoom on the pinch point |
| Two finger drag, on a phone | Pan |
A measure tool is also on the toolbar. Drag from one point to another and it prints the price change, the percent change and how many bars sit between them. It clears when you let go.
Indicators
The indicator picker opens a long list of readings built purely from the bars: moving averages, bands, RSI, MACD, volatility measures and dozens more. Each one names a plain calculation, and each is placed one of two ways.
- Overlay. Drawn on the price itself, sharing its axis. A moving average is an overlay.
- Sub-pane. Drawn in its own strip below the price, with its own axis, for a reading that is not itself a price. RSI is a sub-pane.
Turn any of them on or off from the picker. Nothing here is drawn unless you switch it on, and turning one on is your own choice, the same as sorting a column.
Support and resistance, and pivot points
Two readings in the same picker answer where a name has already turned.
- Swing levels. Turn on the reading named Swing levels for the honest form of support and resistance. It draws confirmed swing pivots, prices the bars have already turned near more than once. It draws up to three on each side, labelled Resistance 1 to 3 and Support 1 to 3. It is arithmetic on past bars, computed once a trading day, and it never promises the price turns there again.
- Pivots. Turn on the reading named Pivots for the classic, Fibonacci, Camarilla, Woodie or DeMark levels, picked from the reading's own method menu. Each set is worked out from the prior period's open, high, low and close. Each level is labelled Pivot, Resistance 1 to 3 and Support 1 to 3 the same way. Choose daily, weekly or monthly as the anchor period.
Both are overlays, drawn on the price itself, and both are a plain calculation on bars already printed. Neither is a claim that a price stops or turns at the line it draws.
Following and pinning
The desk follows one name at a time. The chip at the top of the desk says which, as "Following AAPL".
Every screen that follows the desk shows that name, on every layout. Switching layouts keeps it. The Study button opens Ticker Study on it.
Pick the name three ways. Click a row in any table. Type a ticker in Search and press Enter. Or type a ticker into a chart's own box and press Enter.
Beside the ticker box sits a button that reads "Follows desk". Click it and it turns to "Pinned", in brass, with a pin mark. The chart then holds its own name, whatever the rest of the desk does.
That is how two names sit side by side. Pin one chart to NVDA, and the other chart follows the desk to AAPL. Clicking into the pinned chart never moves the desk.
A pinned screen shows the pin mark before its ticker in the header. The chip at the top counts them, as "1 pinned", and its tooltip names them. Click "Pinned" again and the chart follows the desk once more.
Syncing
A synced chart shares its visible dates and its crosshair with every other chart in the same group. The toolbar's Sync letters, A to D, name the group. Hovering one chart then marks the same trading day on the rest. Each chart in a group still keeps its own name, its own type and its own indicators.
Split adjusted prices
When a company splits its shares, one old share becomes several new ones and the price drops to match. The chart divides every price before the split by the same factor, so the line does not jump. Volume is multiplied the same way.
Dividends are not adjusted for. A long history therefore reads a little lower than the total a holder would have received.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no trend line or pattern shape? A drawn line is a claim about where a price goes next. This screen draws what traded and stops there.
Why does the chart start part way through the range I picked? The desk holds five years of bars for each name. A company listed more recently has a shorter record, and the chart starts where the record starts.
My ticker shows a sentence instead of a chart. Why? Either the price feed has not been published yet, or the desk holds no prices for that name. The sentence says which.
Is the last price live? No. It is the most recent close on file, and the screen prints that date.
Can I compare two names on one screen? Yes. Open two Price Charts and pin one to its own name; the other follows the desk. Put both in one sync group to share dates and the crosshair. Chart Wall carries several full charts on one shared toolbar.
