What the narrator says
0:08Welcome to EliteXCharts. In this video, you'll add indicators to your chart, set them up your way, keep your favorites one click away, and control everything from the chart itself.
0:19To start, click Indicators on the chart's header. Right-clicking the chart and choosing Indicators works too.
0:26The window has four columns. On the left, the categories: averages, flow, structure, momentum, volatility and tools. Then the catalog, with a search that finds the name in English or Portuguese, with or without accents. Next, what's already on your chart. And on the right, the details of the one you pick.

0:46Click any indicator, and its About tells you what it does and which options it has. Let's pick the double moving average.
0:54Below the About are its settings. Click Add, and it shows up in the Added column, and on your chart: two averages with a cloud between them. The arrow next to the name, or a double-click, adds it straight away.
1:07Now set it up your way: the fast average on twenty-seven, and the slow one on fifty-five. Every change shows up on the chart as you make it.
1:16Add as many as you like. In Flow, Big Trades marks the large orders right on the candles.
1:22Use an indicator all the time? The star marks it as a favorite. The Favorites category keeps them together, and they apply to every chart you open.
1:31In the Added column, the arrows change the order, the eye hides an indicator without removing it, and the trash can removes it.
1:39Close the window, and your indicators are listed in the corner of the chart. Click to open the list: the eye shows or hides, the gear opens that indicator's settings, and the X removes it. The list folds back on its own a few seconds after you move away.
1:54And for every detail, the Help Center on our website has an article for each indicator, with a real screenshot and every option.
2:02That's it: your chart, your indicators, set up your way.
