Bar Explorer

The Bar Explorer instrument shows what the price route during the bar is. Its function is to make the sequence of order execution clearer. We normally open the Bar Explorer from the Journal by double clicking on a bar row. It is also accessible from the main Chart by double clicking on a bar.

The chart above shows that in bar No 1452:

1. We have a long position (No 840) at the beginning of the bar;
2. After that the price rises and at 1.2972 Order No 5203 reverses the present long position to a short one;
3. Soon after that the marker reaches the High price of the bar;
4. Market goes down and the program closes the short position at 1.2872;.
5. At 1.2853 the price reaches the Low of the bar;
6. The bar closes at 1.2874.

For further reference we can see also the journal tables.

We see here that three orders ware cancelled (5204, 5205 and 5206) since they are out of the bar range.
