The Financial Chart system supports many different format configurations for charts.
1. Configuration for each type of indicator
To change the format for each type of chart, the user selects the type of indicator that needs to be changed by clicking on the Security with the indicator, as each Indicator associated with the Security will have a different format.
Data format:
Value: Displays the original value of the selected indicator. User can choose the unit to display including Raw (Raw data in Database), Thousand, Million, Billion, Trillion.
Relative: The system will calculate the growth of each point on the selected indicator value relative to the data point before the first point. For example, user chooses to calculate Growth with the YTD period (01.01.2023 to present), then the growth of the index will be calculated against the last data point of 2023.
