Eoin Treacy's view One of our major development projects for the Chart Library has been to combine the two distinct search engines in order to make one's experience of the Service simpler, more user friendly, faster and to clearly illustrate just how broad the range of available instruments is. This has now been completed and is live on the site.

By entering the Chart Library and hitting 'Search' you will now be able to search all of our databases at once. The results will appear in the order one might find them via the menus. Results for the main Chart Library and International Equity Library can now be found on the same page one below another.

For example, if you were searching for iShares ETFs, you would put 'iShares' into the search box and hit 'Find'. All of the results will be listed on the same page one below another and demarcated by which part of our database they appear in.

If you are searching for an instrument that only appears in one part of our database, you would follow the same procedure. For example if you were looking for IBM you would simply type 'IBM' into the Search and hit 'Find'. The results will clearly illustrate that it is present in the International Equity Library.

A number of subscribers have asked for the ability to invert charts, citing the desire to see if what looks like a top would look like a bottom if the chart were turned upside down or vice versa. This facility has now been added to the Chart Library.

To invert a chart, choose the instrument you are interested in from the search or menus and click on the Charting tab found in the charcoal bar above every chart. You will now see a new tick box in the lower right-hand side of the popup window which says 'Inverse (1/data)'. By ticking the Inverse box the Chart Library will invert the price data using this formula: 1 / the price data. For example, here is a 5-year candlestick chart of the S&P500 Index and here is the same chart inverted.
