on creating chart templates:
“Is there a way to put the RSI beneath each chart instead of the $/CHF? Many thanks for your response.”

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this question which others may also have an interest in. The Chart Library remembers your last operation and applies it to subsequent charts. To remove the $/CHF from below the chart area, the easiest solution is to hit the ‘Reset' button in the charcoal bar above the main chart area. If you would like to create a chart which will always apply the RSI you will need to create a customised template. Here is a step by step guide on how to do this:

1. Choose any instrument you are interested in from either the menus or the search facility.
2. Click on the ‘Charting' tab located in the charcoal bar above the main chart area.
3. A popup window will appear.
4. Select the Sample (daily, weekly monthly, etc.) and Period (3-month to 50-years) you wish from the appropriate dropdown menus.
5. Select ‘Relative Strength Indicator' from the ‘Analysis' dropdown menu.
6. An extra line item will be introduced so you can customise the period of the RSI if you wish.
7. Hit Apply to ensure you have the type of chart you were looking for.

In order to save this chart as a template continue with these steps

8. Click on the Charting tab located in the charcoal bar above the chart area to open the popup window.
9. Click on the ‘Save' tab, located in the aquamarine bar at the top of the popup window
10. Give your template a name and click on OK.
11. Next click on Apply
12. Refresh the page

Your template will now have been added to the Chart tab at the top of the page so that you can apply it whenever you look at any chart.
