Show/Hide Current Market Price

Brief

The article describes how to show/hide the current market price on a chart.

Details

The current market price can be indicated on a chart by a horizontal line with a tag.

• If the ask chart is shown, the horizontal line indicates the level of the current ask price. The tag displays the current ask price.
• If the bid chart is shown, the horizontal line indicates the level of the current bid price. The tag displays the current bid price.
• If both ask and bid charts are shown (for tick periods), the two horizontal lines are displayed on the chart.

Note: If the current market price is out of the viewing area, the horizontal line and its tag are not visible. In this case the line can be accessed by means of scrolling and scaling. See Chart Navigation.

In Marketscope the current market price is displayed by a tag (tags) on the price axis by default.
