Drag and Drop Studies to Quotes

The simplest way to add a study to a quote is to first add it to a chart, then drag it from the chart and drop it onto the quote. The following demonstration works when the study only has one plot name. You cannot drag and drop a study that contains multiple plot lines from a chart to the quote. However, you CAN drag and drop multiple-plot studies from a chart to a data table. To add a multiple-plot study to a quote board or quote grid, additional steps are necessary.

1. Create a chart for the desired symbol, using the desired aggregation (Tick, Intraday, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
    

2. Add the study to the chart. In this example, a 15 minute chart for ES1! is created, with the Relative Strength Index added (RSI).
   
   
   
    

3. If desired, change the parameter value(s) of the study on the chart: Double-click on the study to open the Properties Dialog box. In this example, the RSI study has one parameter, Period, with a default value of 14:
   
   
   
    

4. Open a quote board, quote grid, or data table.
    

5. Click ONCE on the study's plot to select it. (The study is highlighted, as shown below.)
   
   
   
    

6. Drag the selected study from the chart, and drop it into an empty cell on the quote board, quote grid, or onto the data table.
   
   
   
    

7. Once dropped, the Last price on the quote will reflect the same value as displayed on the chart. Note the syntax of the study on the quote board:
   
   15Min:RSI(ES1!, 14)
   
   Aggregation:function (source.InputField, value, value, value).PlotName
   
   function = study RSI, source = Symbol ES1! and value = study parameter value of 14
