PARAMETERS

1. General
   

1. Days to Load
   
1. Defines the number of days to load into the chart
   
2. Param Type
   
1. Minute / Second / Daily / Weekly / Monthly
   Each bar is based on minute, second, daily, weekly, monthly. 
   
2. Vol bars
   Needing two parameters, Target and Reverse, the first parameter defines the Target in terms of the minimum tick that the bar must reach, once this minimum target is reached, the second parameter defines the Reverse in terms of ticks that the bar must make to create a new one.
3. Range
   Defines the range in terms of ticks of each individual bar. For example, if a 10 Range chart is set, each new bar will be created whenever the price moves from high to low by more than 10 ticks.
4. Volume
   Defines the maximum volume of each bar, reached that volume will create a new bar.
5. Trades
   Defines the maximum number of trades of each bar, reached that value will create a new bar.
6. Renko
   Similar to Range charts, defined a certain parameter in terms of ticks, say 10, a new bar will be created whenever the price moves 10 ticks from the body of the previous candle
7. Point figure
   As Vol Bars need two parameters, Target and Reverse, the former defines the box size and the latter the reversal amount. When from the high or low of the candle there is a retracement equal to parameter 2 a new candle is formed.
8. Delta
   Defines the delta, in absolute value, of each bar, once this value is reached a new bar will be created a new bar.

1. Param 1
   Defines the benchmark for time-based charts, Range, Volume, Trade, Renko, Delta, as well as the first parameter in Vol bars and Point figure charts.
2. Param 2
   Defines the second parameter in Vol bars and Point figure graphs.
3. Based-on-minutes-data
   Defines the type of data on which the construction of the graph is based. By default, the data source will be at tick, offering maximum accuracy in terms of traded orders, thus being able to define tick by tick whether a contract is executed in Bid or Ask, thus enabling delta calculation. It is recommended to enable the minute database when a very large data history has to be loaded, for longer period analysis.
4. Continuous contract
   In the Futures it is possible to view the synthetic contract, which is that contract that combines the various maturities to which the futures themselves are subject, allowing the user to perform more long-term analysis; 
1. None
   No rollover is performed.
2. Date
   The rollover is based on the time expiration of each individual contract.
3. Volume
   The rollover is based on volume, that is, the moment more volume is recorded in the next contract than in the expiring contract, the rollover..
4. Adjusted date
   Makes the rollover based on time expiration and makes an adjustment to the historical price series based on the contango or backwardation between the expiring contract and the new contract.
5. Adjusted volume
   Makes the rollover based on volume and makes an adjustment to the historical price series based on the contango or backwardation between the expiring contract and the new contract.
5. Exclude auction (tick data)
   If enabled you exclude data arising at the opening and closing auctions. Useful option in stock markets to prevent volumes traded in those phases from offsetting volumes traded in continuous trading.
