About PonTan Chart

overview

The PonTan chart displays price movements over a 5-day period, including the day recorded in the diary. Only 15 minute charts are displayed. You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, and scroll left and right to check past price movements. The vertical line represents the International Date Line and is always visible, but the date at the bottom may be omitted depending on the magnification. The chart for the current day is automatically updated every 15 minutes. When the date changes, only the charts corresponding to the diary for that day will be updated from then on, and the charts for other dates will remain fixed. The purpose of this is to "keep a history of the charts you were viewing in real time on that day."

There are four currency pairs that can be displayed:

  • USDJPYUS Dollar/Japanese Yen
  • EURUSDEuro to US Dollar
  • GBPUSDBritish Pound / US Dollar
  • AUDUSDAustralian Dollar to US Dollar

PonTan basically only trades dollar straights.
This is because technical analysis is more effective than with cross currencies, making trading decisions easier to make.
