J-Chart powered by FOREX.com

Version Specific Features

J-Chart/Forex is an innovative analysis methodology and third-party software that integrates with FOREX.com's streaming data feed.

Important note: The following descriptions and directions assume that you have an established and funded trading account with FOREX.com which will allow you to retrieve live data from them. If you do not have a FOREX.com trading account set up you will not be able to use J-Chart/Forex - except the J-Chart/Forex FREE Trial. In order to use the J-Chart/Forex trial, simply register for the J-Chart/Forex trial account. Find more information about applying for a FOREX.com trading account at www.forex.com. FOREX.com's service is independent from our service.

The following figure illustrates the technical structure.

J-Chart's integration with FOREX.com's streaming data feed makes it an easy-to-go and fast charting tool especially suitable for active day trading. At the same time, the received streaming data will be locally stored on your PC's hard disk. This way, you are able to build up a "historical data base" for even medium- and long-term analysis.

Due to the given technical infrastructure (FOREX.com simply provides live streaming data without backfilling), there is one version specific limitation that you should be aware of. The following recommendation will help you to avoid a loss of data:

Run J-Chart/Forex every trading day. Being unconnected at any time when trading occurs results in a loss of data. Open J-Chart/Forex every trading day at the beginning of the trading session in order to receive all streaming data through FOREX.com. If you connect in the middle of the trading session, today's previous data will be missing for the rest of the day.
