Charting- Adding Multiple Indicators

April 25, 2013

Traders,

We have introduced newer platforms since this post was published. Check out this user manual for Kite and Kite explainer videos here.

To read on how to initiate charts on ZT, please read this blog. A common query that we get is that when you add more than 1 indicator, the data inside the chart gets skewed – like shown in the pic below. For example – We have added 2 indicators here : 14 candle EMA and 14 Candle RSI.

NIFTY CHART

NIFTY CHART

 

To ensure this doesn’t happen, please follow the steps below:

1. Right click inside the chart and click on preference settings. A new box opens – in this click on Title borders and click apply as shown below.

Nifty Chart - EMA & RSI

Nifty Chart – EMA & RSI

 

2. Initiate a new chart and ensure that when you add an indicator, double click on the indicator and don’t right click and say add indicator. Now you will see the new chart like below. You can use following shortcut keys for : Zoom In : Ctrl+ Z or + , Zoom out: Ctrl+shift+Z or – , Reset Zoom: Ctrl + X , Normal View: Ctrl + N.

EMA & RSI - BOTH INDICATORS CLEARLY VISIBLE

EMA & RSI – BOTH INDICATORS CLEARLY VISIBLE

 

Happy Charting,

    We have 2 major exchanges BSE and NSE on which the stock is available for buy or sell. We cannot see both tickers for a given stock in a single window with the prices on the respective exchange. This would help us to decide which exchange price is better to buy. Please add this feature.

    which indicator used instead of averagely traded price in pi ???

    • star says:

      One can add ATP column on to market watch but it is applicable for only present day, closest indicator would be typical price which is (high+low+close)/3. Ideal indicator would be VWAP but currently not available on Pi. It will take more time to be available on Pi but is already present on our web application kite.zerodha.com.

  24. JAY KATE says:

    SIR PLZ ADD PIVOT POINT SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE IN INDICATOR LIST

    Noticed this,

    While using supertrend with Pi, if you change candle to heiken ashi you see the supertrend is calculated based on candles only. Which should have changed to heiken ashi. This works fine with kite.

    hi
    What is the way to get nifty chart in pi?

  40. Prashanth says:

    Hi Team,

    I just need a clarification regarding NEST Charts which is a recent update. In the earlier version of NEST Plus, when I set the interval to 60 mins, the candle intervals used to be 10.00, 11.00, 12.00,……4.00. However, now the the new version, when I set the interval to 60 mins, I get the candles for 8.30, 9.30, 10.30,…..3.30. Is this how it is going to be going forward? Any way to get the old intervals?
    Additionally, the Currency market data ends at 4.30. I have doubts if the installation is right on my system.
    Does Pi also give out the same kind of data?

  41. ADHIK says:

    Dear Nithin..
    as per notice circulated few days ago, Nest plus has been replaced by Nest chart…i can see many of the features are not available in this new system..(e.g. parabolic SAR wich was giving clear buy and sell signal) …..also algo is disabled ( i was to start sami automatic trading)..would u pls give some insight for this as i i have started intraday trading and also keep on referring as many of my friends to the Zerodha (mainly based on PI)….

  42. Bimal says:

    Dear Nitin,

    Since NSE Equity trading has not been enabled for my account, I am not being able to view stock charts as individual equities are not getting populated. I am only getting the NFOs . Reading stock/index future charts may lead to erroneous observations. How can I get rid of this problem?

  43. Nitin P says:

    Nithin,

    I have 2 questions –
    1. Is there a possibility to have Ticker candle chart . We right now only have Time interval based candle charts.

    2. The Y-Axis(Price) interval on the ZT desktop adjusts itself according to the price variation. If we have a sudden drop or boom in price then the whole chart adjusts itself to fit the size .Can the ability be built to configure the Y-Axis interval according to user needs and keep it fixed ?

    Regards,
    Nitin

  44. Rajendra says:

    i am not able to open up chart for the CNX NIFTY, or say sensex indices

  45. gurprB2J says:

    Time & Sales window and vwap statistics window both are separate things. Time and sales window shows that trades are happening at bids or asks and it has nothing to do with vwap. Kindly reconfirm from your technical team.

    • Hanan says:

      Yes, you’re right about VWAP and Time & Sales data being different – however, our system offers us only VWAP data. Time & Sales data is not presented on Nest.

  46. bala says:

    Hi all, I am new to zerodha, Just a clarification..I am interested only to trade (intraday) on nifty stock futures..So the charts for intraday cash & futures are two different or how…because my understanding is cash stock price is little lower than the future stock prices of the same stock, so when market opens how to access (charts) those 2 different charts…with step by step procedure and pls. shed some light on this…

    • Hanan says:

      You can load Nifty Spot charts on ZT and compare them with the Futures charts as shown in the image below.
      Fut and Spot side by side

      If you wish to track even the Nifty Spot chart along with the Futures chart, follow these steps:
      1. Right click on the Index box (Ctrl+I) on the index you wish to see the spot chart for. Right now this is available only for Nifty.
      2. Once you right click, you’ll see an option called Plus Index Chart which you need to click on.
      3. This will open the index chart. Right click on the chart and choose lock scrip.
      4. Once that scrip is locked, you can open the Futures chart.
      5. Once the Futures chart is also open, you can double click on the left side of the chart to undock it.
      6. Once undocked you can resize the chart and place them next to each other.

    Hi,

    Would it be possible for you guys to add historic/Daily charts of index such as Bank nifty and Nifty ?

  50. Raghuanth says:

    Hello,

    I am using Nest Plus chart for trading purpose and i am developing one strategy for intraday and i found in Nest Plus one indicator is not available i.e.”DEMA – Double Exponential Moving
    Average “, so can you include it so that it would be very helpful.

    Regards,
    Raghunath

  51. chetuzz says:

    Can i invert charts in Plus? also i cant see Weekly and Monthly Views of Histrocial Data.

    • Hanan says:

      No, you cannot invert charts on Plus. You can view historical charts on Equities, but there was a temporary problem with Plus charts which should be fixed by tomorrow.

  52. kumar says:

    How can i open nifty(Or any other index) chart in nest plus. i could only open the charts of stocks and derivatives.

    • Hanan says:

      Index charts aren’t available on Plus right now. We’re working on having them available in the future releases of Nest Plus. For now, if you want realtime charts on indices the best option for you would be Google or Yahoo finance.

  53. Shashi says:

    Hi,

    Do we have options of tick charts (where a new candle is created after a fixed number of ticks) or range charts (where a candle height is fixed) instead of the time based charts (where new candle is created after fixed amount of time). If yes, how to change the setting? If no, can we expect this option to be available soon?

    Thanks,
    Shashi

    • Shashi,

      Presently we have only time based charts, 1min to whatever you want to customize. We are working on our new platform, and will bounce with our techies if this could be incorporated.

      Cheers,

  54. Subbu says:

    Hi, I am new to Zerodha. The candlesticks in charts are not getting updated in the time axis. It is showing the real time changes in LTP only at one time level (10:12 AM in my case). I donot know what is the problem

    • Hanan says:

      There are multiple reasons why your candlestick may not be updating. You’ll have to eliminate what is not the problem and fix it if you want to resolve this on your own. Or you could simply call our office for support.
      1. Check your Nest Plus version. The current version is 1.7.0.0 – To know the version click on Ctrl + Shift + P – if it’s the right version, just press Refresh.
      2. If it’s the wrong version (less than 1.7.0.0), you’ll have to update it by going here.
      Once on that page, press Ctrl + S to download the entire package.
      The downloaded package then has to be unzipped into a folder and then replaced in C:\\Program Files\Omnesys\NEST3

    Hi,

    How to access time & sales data for a particular script on ZT.

    Thanks
    Manoj

    • Hanan says:

      Manoj, I think you want to know the number of shares that were traded for a stock at a certain price? I think this is what they call ‘Time & Sales’ data on Nasdaq. We call it vWap statistics or Hourly statistics or even Data Table. You have to right click on your market watch and select the option Tools. In Tools, please select vWap Statistics. It’ll show you the prices it traded for in a given minute. As a broker, Zerodha automatically gives you this data for 22 trading days at any given point. If you want more data, you have to save it or buy it from professional data vendors.

      We presume this is what you’d like to know. If you think you had a different question, please elaborate so we can help you.

      • Googol says:

        “as a broker, Zerodha automatically gives you this data for 22 trading days at any given point”

    Good afternoon Friends,

    I am a new ZT user. Please advice me on how to load the intraday charts for various scripts. Currently I can see charts for only those scripts, which are included in the market watch. Further the chart window, appearing below the MW is very small. Another issue is the settings of parameters once done do not get saved ( need to enter repeatedly )

    Prasad

    • Nithin Kamath says:

      Prasad,

      Check this blog on Charting , shows how to initiate charts.

      Yes you will need to have the scrip on your marketwatch and click on it and press Shift+p to open. Double click on the blue box,it gets detached, you can now resize. The above blog explains how to.

      Once you have added your parameters, you can right click on the chart and say save template and save it on your computer. Everytime you want the same template, right click and say upload template.

      Cheers.
