You can expect the highest degree of quality, performance and visual attractivity from NeedForTrade Studio charts.  Multi-Data Charts  NeedForTrade Studio lets mix any number of symbols and time intervals for different time frames on a single chart. Data for symbols can be served from different data providers. So you can build complex portfolios, analyze correlations and so on. Screenshot (click to view larger image): 
Industry-Standard Chart Types Application can display unlimited number of charts simultaneously. Each chart can contain any number of subcharts with single time axis. Platform supports multiple types of financial charts, such as bars(ohlc, hlc, color bars), japanese candles, dot, line, histograms and hidden charts. Screenshots (click to view larger image):    
Ease of Use Drag-and-drop operation ensures highest possible ease of use. To adjust properties of any visual element or parameter of some indicator or strategy just click on it on the chart. | | | Charts Customization Charts have a vast of properties. Every color, line width and style or text font can be customized according to user's preferences. Screenshot (click to view larger image): 
Time Intervals Wide range of time intervals is suppored:
- Tick (e.g. 100 ticks)
- Volume (e.g. 500 shares/contracts)
- Second (1 sec, 2 secs,...)
- Minute (1min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, 5min,...)
- Hour (1 hour, 2 hours,...)
- Daily
- Monthly
Performance and Visual Attractivity Each chart have two modes of operation: optimized for speed or for visual attraction. In the second mode charts can be drawn with antialiasing(smoothing of jagged lines) and transparency. Charts are highly optimized and use hardware graphics acceleration wherever it's possible. Chart rendering engine has multithreaded architecture, so it utilizes multi-core processors, HyperThreading technology and multi-processor systems to draw more than one chart at the same time. |

Don’t spend a dollar on a bad idea. Test before trade. Develop and back-test strategies. Use historical data to test your strategy. You can lose your money if you try to use new strategies right away with real money. Strategy Creation Strategies are created on C# or Visual Basic languages. Thanks to our unique automatic service code generator you don't have to know how to program on these languages. Only very easy language syntax contractions are required. Strategy creation just can't be easier. It's just as easy as in TradeStation EasyLanguage*. 
See "Strategies and Indicators Creation" tab for more information. Strategy Back-Testing on Historical Data Strategies can be runned against historical data prior using them on real market. This lets you test your ideas and minimize risks. Screenshot (click to view larger image): 
Performance Reports Strategy Performance Reports can be used to analyze trade orders produced by strategies during back-test. There are multitude of built-in performance marks and graphs. You can create your own performance marks (report indicators) and custom graphs as easy as simple indicators.

| | | Optimization of Strategy Parameters Each strategy can have parameters that affect it's execution. Proper optimization lets you find suitable parameter values, maximize strategy revenue, minimize drawdown and so on. NeedForTrade Studio is supplied with brute-force optimization included. Screenshot (click to view larger image): 
Optimization target function can be specified so you can optimize strategy against any criterion (e.g. maximize). Creating target function is easy as simple creating indicator. Screenshot (click to view larger image): 
Also you can create your own optimization algorithm. In each case you will not need to learn difficult programming aspects due to our automatic service code generation. Portfolio Optimization NeedForTrade Studio is capable to optimize parameters of strategies applied to a portfolio with any number of symbols. | *Microsoft .NET Framework, TradeStation, EasyLanguage and other are registered trademarks of their respective owners.

Platform supports different types of indicators: - Line
- Histogram
- MultiLine
- Unrestricted indicator (useful for data analyzing purposes - indicator is able to analyze whole data range to calculate all it's all values at once)
Indicator style on the chart can be finely tuned. Screenshot (click to view larger image):    
Alerts Alerts let to notify user about specific event (e.g. when an indicator value meets user-specified conditions). Several types of notifications are supported: - Visual alerts
- Sound alerts

Simple Analysis Techniques Development For relatively easy analysis techniques no special (programming) skills are required. Code only parts significant to your analysis technique, everything else will be generated automatically. Use Parameter, References and Variable Store panels instead of coding corresponding code manually.  Screenshots (click to view larger image): Code Syntax Highlighting Analysis technique editor supports code highlighting. All syntax errors in analysis techniques are shown in the Tasks panel and are underlined in the code. If analysis technique is calling some function you can find out function parameters by pointing mouse cursor on it. Referenced functions are marked with different color.
