Displaying Price History in a Polar Coordinate Chart

Summary

This document explains an interactive chart that arranges price history in a polar coordinate display. The mouse position controls two chart parameters: moving horizontally changes the start date of the displayed history, while moving vertically changes the period represented by one loop. The leftmost horizontal position shows the maximum available history, and the topmost vertical position selects the shortest loop period. A left-click applies the chosen settings.

A keyboard toggle switches between circles sized by a fixed number of bars and circles representing a fixed time interval. On a minute chart, the described interval mode uses one day per loop, with midnight at the top and noon at the bottom. The document also advises setting the chart’s maximum-bar limit to unlimited to expose more history. It describes navigation and visualization controls, not a trading signal or tested analytical method; no evidence is given that interpreting price in this layout improves forecasts or decisions.

Key ideas

• Horizontal mouse position changes the starting date shown in the polar chart.
• Vertical mouse position sets the period covered by each loop.
• A left-click applies the selected chart parameters.
• The toggle switches between loops based on bar count and loops based on fixed time intervals.
• The description explains display behavior but offers no evidence of trading value.
