The Deepcharts Overlay Chart indicator allows you to display the chart of another financial instrument on the main chart, allowing you to monitor multiple instruments at the same time. This can be done by creating a secondary chart area or by overlaying the two charts.

Unlike the Overlay Symbol indicator, the Overlay Chart indicator allows for greater customization. In fact, it is possible to set the time frame of the secondary chart, for example displaying a 5-minute chart and a 30-minute chart at the same time.

Using Settings

By clicking on the indicator settings icon, the relevant configuration window will open, within which it will be possible to make various choices regarding the indicator's functionality.
