Welcome to the next installment in our series on DXcharts<\/a>. In our previous articles, we explored the wide range of drawing tools<\/a> and chart types<\/a>. Today, we will take a closer look at aggregations and date\/time presets. These features play a vital role in customizing chart data and enhancing the accuracy of your analysis. Let\u2019s jump right in and explore the flexibility that DXcharts offers in aggregation periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predefined and custom aggregations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An aggregation is a time period corresponding to 1 bar displayed on the chart. In DXcharts, you can use predefined time-based aggregations consisting of standard time intervals such as ticks, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and years. Additionally, there are ranges, which are price-based aggregations. The ranges take into account only price movements, not time units, and can only be used with the \u201cBar\u201d chart type.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

In addition to predefined aggregations, you can set your own interval in a custom aggregation: 5 ticks, 3 minutes, 9 hours, 11 weeks, 2 years, and so on \u2013 each of these will define how much data is aggregated for a single bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create a custom aggregation period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. On the Toolbar, click the Agregation period<\/strong> icon that displays the current aggregation period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. At the bottom of the aggregations list, click Custom<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Type in a time interval for aggregation. For example: 2 ticks, 3 hours, or 4 days<\/em>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Click the Apply<\/strong> icon or press Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    If you don\u2019t need an aggregation, you can remove it by clicking the Remove<\/strong> icon next to the item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Date and time presets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For even more flexibility, DXcharts has a tweaking tool for creating date and time presets. The tweaker allows you to set an aggregation period and then adjust a date range for which the entire chart will be plotted. Up to 15 presets can be saved as ready-to-use templates for quick access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The following table shows all possible date ranges for the selected aggregation period:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aggregation<\/strong><\/td>Date range<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    5 seconds<\/td>1 hour, 12 hours; 1 day<\/td><\/tr>
    5 minutes<\/td>1-10, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90 days<\/td><\/tr>
    15 minutes<\/td>1-10, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90 days<\/td><\/tr>
    30 minutes<\/td>1-10, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90 days<\/td><\/tr>
    1 hour<\/td>1-10, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90, 180, 285 days<\/td><\/tr>
    2 hours<\/td>1-10, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90, 180, 285 days<\/td><\/tr>
    4 hours<\/td>1-10, 20, 25, 30, 60, 90, 180, 285 days<\/td><\/tr>
    1 day<\/td>1, 3, 6, 9 months; 1-10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years<\/td><\/tr>
    1 week<\/td>3, 6, 9 months; 1-10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years<\/td><\/tr>
    1 month<\/td>1-10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    How to add a date and time preset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. In the bottom left corner of the chart, click the Add<\/strong> icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Set the aggregation period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Adjust the date range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Click Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
