###  | Overview |

Introduction SSChart is a high quality candlestick stock charting program that displays market data with a wide variety of technical studies. SSchart can automatically obtain historic data from free sources via the internet, as well as access selected subscription data sources. (New sources may be added in the future). While SSChart may look similar to other charting programs you may have used, it has no connection with any of these and is not derived from any other program so you may find some aspects of its use to be different than you expect. As with any program of this size and complexity you can not expect to learn all that it can do without reading some of the documentation. The Quick Start section will get you started . The Features section gives details for using each feature of this program and the later sections provide more detail when you need it. If you have questions that aren't answered here, or if you find errors in the documentation please contact us. #### Documentation Conventions A series of menu selections is shown like this: { Help | About SSChart } The entire selection sequence is enclosed in curly braces { }. Each successive menu selection is separated by a vertical bar "|". The example indicates that you click on the "Help" menu, and then "About SSChart" in the submenu. Dialog buttons are enclosed in square brackets, like this: [OK] [Cancel] Special Keystrokes are shown in angle brackets like: <right click> right mouse button click, <enter> Enter key on keyboard, <ctrl R> R key pressed while holding down control key. List box items are shown in italic like: Background Examples of control file contents are shown in fixed spaced courier type like this line. #### SSChart Concepts The basic units of the SSChart main window are the chart window, and the SLFMap window. Each chart window may contain the price, volume, and studies for a stock symbol. You can create and save as many chart windows as you wish. Each SLFMap window contains all symbols from a symbol list file. The symbols in a SLFMap window are updated with price information in real time. There are a number of other window types that may be available when a supporting data source is selected. The current chart layout will be saved when you exit the program. The next time you start SSChart all windows will be recreated as viewed before. You can save any customized chart as a named favorite, and reload this again by its name.
