These instructions will explain how you can open a basic chart in BodhiGold. If you do not have BodhiGold installed on your computer, please refer to this tutorial:  Installing BodhiGold 

There are two ways you can open a chart in BodhiGold.
[+] Opening a chart from a Watch or Portfolio list
[+] Opening a chart from it's Exchange list

The purpose of this feature is simply to display a chart. It will not do any complex charting or technical analysis. If you require a more indepth charting program you may be interested in other software, such as  EzyChart or EzyStation .

Opening a chart from a Watch or Portfolio list

If you have created Watch lists or Porfolio lists you can open a chart directly from the front page. If you don't know how to create these lists, refer to these tutorials:
 Creating a Watch List of symbols 
 Creating a Portfolio of symbols 
1. Open BodhiGold. The Watch and Portfolio lists display on the startup screen.
   

2. Click on either a Watch or Portfolio tab to make it active.
3. Locate the symbol for the chart you want to view and click on it so it is highlighted.

   Then right-click on it and select Chart from the drop-down box.

4. The following chart screen will display:
   

   At the top of the screen you will see the format tab. If you download to multiple formats or you update this symbol to numerous directories you will have a chart for each one.
   Please Note: these charts may look different due to some formats having padded data and depending on the events settings you have chosen for each directory.

Opening a chart from it's Exchange list

Using this method you can view charts on any symbols trading on any exchange not just the ones in your Watch or Portfolio lists. In this example we will open the chart for symbol: BSL trading on the Australian Securities Exchange.

   Locate BSL in the list and click on it so it is highlighted.
   

6. Right-click on the symbol BSL to display a menu then select Chart.
   

7. The following chart screen will display:
   

   At the top of the screen you will see the format tab. If you download to multiple formats or you update this symbol to numerous directories you will have a chart for each one.
   Please Note: these charts may look different due to some formats having padded data and depending on the events settings you have chosen for each directory.
