Features and Functions

Important Features of Your Charts

1. Activating The "Auto Login" Feature

For your convenience, we have created an "Auto Login" feature in your ProSignal software. Activating the "Auto Login" feature will eliminate the need to re-enter your Username & Password each time you open your ProSignal software. To activate this function, follow these easy steps:

2. Go to "Settings" at the top of your charts and select "Options", as illustrated below.

3. The "Options" window will open as displayed in the following illustration. Check the box next to "Auto Login" in the top left corner of the window. Click "OK". (Note: In this "Options" window you can also activate or deactivate other functions in your charts, such as "Extend Trend Line". You may want to uncheck this box if you don't want your trend lines extending into the future. However, DO NOT change any settings under "IntelliScript" on the left).

4. Now click on "Group" located at the very top of your screen and select "Save" from the pop-down menu. The window will automatically close. This will save your customized user settings. You should always Save your customized settings prior to closing your software.

2. Setting Price Alerts on Your Charts

To set a price alert on your chart (different than a Buy/Sell Signal Alert), follow these steps:

1. Right click on your chart at the exact price you would like to set your price alert.

2. In the pop-up window, select “Intelliscript”, then “Add Price Alert”, then select “Price Above” or “Price Below” or “Price At” your desired price. The software will then place a red dotted line on your chart at your Alert Price and an alarm will sound each time the selected condition is met.

Price Alerts

The following illustration shows two examples of how you can use ProSignal’s Price Alert function to notify you of a Descending Flag breakout. Since price breakouts usually occur suddenly and violently, the Automated Alert Signals will often miss these moves completely. However, by applying the technical analysis taught in the manual, you would know in advance that when price breaks 15 pips above a Descending Flag line during an up-trend, you should definitely BUY regardless of what the automated signals are telling you. As you can see, Descending Flag breakouts result in very large moves in a short period of time. By setting price alerts on your charts, you never have to miss these moves again. The following chart is a EUR/USD 2-hour chart during February, 2004.

3. Receiving Price Alerts by Email and/or Cell Phone

To receive a price alert by email and/or cell phone in the top menu bar and select “IntelliScript Organizer” from the pop-down menu. Then highlight the price alert in the “My Intelliscript” window and enter your email address (or phone # email address) in the “To” field under “Default Email List” then check the box next to “Send email when Price Alert achieved” and click “Edit”. On the Alert page, select the proper currency pair from the pop-down window (bottom right) and click “Attach”. The time-scale you choose does not matter as long as you have selected the correct currency pair.

4. Save! Save! Save!
Saving Your Customized User Settings

To SAVE all your customized settings, go to "Group" at the top of your screen and select "SAVE". You should also occasionally save your settings to your hard drive (Create Local Backup) and also do a backup to ProSignal's web server. To do this, go to "Group" and select "Create Local Backup" or "Create Server Backup". This will save your personal settings should your computer ever freeze or if you want to retrieve your settings from a remote location, you can select one of the "Restore" options. Creating backups will also preserve your settings when ProSignal notifies you to update your software or "Get the Latest Version".

5. Zoom & Scroll Bar Features

If you enter a wide date range, use the "+" and "-" magnifying glass icons at the top of the chart to zoom in and out and use the scroll arrows at the bottom right of your chart to scroll left and right.

Another note on using the charts:

Each time you create a chart, you can point and click your curser on the edge or corner of the window to resize it. By clicking on the bottom right-hand corner of the chart window and resizing it up and to the left, you can make the chart quite small so you can keep several charts ready to be opened on your desk top. Make sure you can see the “minimize” and “maximize” buttons in the upper right-hand corner of each window. This way you can click on the maximize button to open the chart to full screen and then the minimize button to reduce it back to its small size to open another chart that you may have saved on your desk-top.

6. Changing Background Color of your Charts

The default background setting for your ProSignal Charts is Black and Grey banded. If you would like to change the background to solid Black, as in our illustrations above (or any other color of your preference), follow these instructions.

1. Go to "Settings" at the top of your screen and select "Options" from the pop-down menu. This will open the Options window as illustrated below.

2. In the Options window, select the "Color Scheme" tab.

3. On the left side you will see "Background Band1" and "Background Band2". Click the colored square box next to these options and select the color of the background band you prefer.

4. Once you have selected your preferred colors, enter a NAME for this Color Scheme in the boxes at the top of the window. In the illustration below, we named it SOLID BLACK. Then click "OK".

Choosing a Color Scheme for Your Charts

If this does not immediately change the background color of your charts, follow these 2 steps for each chart you open.

1. Right click anywhere on your charts and select "Color Scheme" from the pop-up window.

2. Then select "Switch" and choose the name you gave your customized color scheme. In our example, we used the name "SOLID BLACK".

3. Once you have changed the background color of your charts, SAVE your settings under "Group" in the menu bar at the top of your screen. Your charts will then always open with your customized color scheme.
