About PonTan Charts

summary

The PonTan chart shows price movements over a 5-day period, including the day recorded in the logbook. Only the 15-minute chart is displayed. The mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and out, and left and right scrolling allows you to go back and check past price movements. The vertical line indicates the date line, which is always displayed, but the date at the bottom may be omitted depending on the zoom factor. Charts for the day of the logbook are automatically updated every 15 minutes. When the date changes, only the chart corresponding to that day's logbook is subject to subsequent updates; charts for other dates are fixed. This is intended to "keep a history of the charts you were looking at in real time that day.

The following four currency pairs can be displayed.

  • USDJPYUSD/JPY
  • EURUSDEuro/U.S. Dollar
  • GBPUSDGBP/USD
  • AUDUSDAUD/USD

PonTan trades essentially only in the straight dollar.
This is due to the fact that technical analysis is more effective than with cross currencies, making it easier to make clear trade decisions.
