A crosshair is a valuable device that is used to decide the date, time, as nicely as the price level of the chosen area in a chart. It can also be used to decide the quantity of pips between two points.
To prompt it, you can press Ctrl + F, press on the wheel of the mouse, or click on the certain crosshair icon as shown in the photo below.
As shown below, the crosshair suggests the coordinates of date, time, and rate at a selected point.
When you click on on the left mouse button, and you move the cursor, a line that links the two points will be shown. The data given in this line is as follows:
- the number of bars positioned between the two points
- the number of pips between these two points
- the real cost of the second point
In the example above, the crosshair shows the quantity of bars (6 of them), the wide variety of pips between the two points (which is 90.1 pips or 901 points) and finally the charge cost of the 2nd point (which is 110.946).
