Main Screen

The figure below illustrates the what a typical Qtstalker app looks like. The basic parts of the app going from top to bottom are:

  1. The title bar displays the current chart loaded.
  2. The menu bar.
  3. The tool bar area consists of access to the most used charting functions like chart types, bar spacing, grid, bars etc.
  4. The chart, groups, indicator, portfolio and backtesting function tabs. These tabs give you access to assorted functions that apply to each.
    1. Chart tab.
    2. Group tab.
    3. Indicator tab.
    4. Portfolio tab.
    5. Backtest tab.
  5. Main chart. This is the main plot for Open, High, Low, Close data for every chart. Any indicators that apply to OHLC data will also be plotted here. eg Bollinger Bands, MA's etc.
  6. Indicator chart. Any indicators that don't apply to the main chart will be plotted here. eg. MACD, RSI etc. Note that the indicators located here are tabbed.

Here is a shot of our newest corporate spawn of satan... SCOX with a 3 plot MA and a DMI, MACD, OI and VOL at the bottom.
