You can show the current value of certain prices as a horizontal line on the chart that dynamically changes its level each time new price information arrives. For these so-called price lines, you can choose the line style and show / hide labels, prices and field names. When you display more than one price line on a chart, you can also use a color gradient between two price lines.
The price line is always based on the current daily data. This means you can change the data compression of a chart (for example to an intraday compression) and still display the day’s Open, High, Low, Last etc. on the chart.
