Status Bar

Status Bar

The status bar is divided into three zones which show additional information: market information, dynamic chart data, time and date.

Market Information

This zone is situated in the left part of the status bar. It displays the symbol and the period of the financial instrument in current use. The brackets contain the spread values, the swap numbers and the slippage value.

If the function Data refining is active, this zone will show a notice saying Refined. If the data is only partially loaded (by the Data Horizon function, for example), the status bar will show a notice saying Cut.

Examples:

  EURUSD 1Day (3, 1.35, -0.85, 0) - Cut - Refined

Meaning:

  Symbol      EURUSD
  Period      1 Day
  Swap long   1.35 pips
  Swap short -0.85 pips 
  Slippage    0 pips
  Cut data
  Refined data

Dynamic Data

This zone is situated in the middle of the status bar. It reveals information about the bar you have marked from the indicator chart or from the account chart.

Time and Date

The right part of the status bar shows the current date and time.
