ChartOverlay is an unusual program. The information in this section will give you an overview of how it works and help you make the most of its features.

ChartOverlay has a transparent window that you actually place on top of another window. When you do this, you can see the second window through the overlay and you can draw on the overlay based on what you see underneath.

ChartOverlay works with pretty much any other Windows program that displays charts (we haven't yet found a program that does not work). This means you can use it with Real Time or End of Day charting programs, web browsers, spreadsheets, even PDF files and eMail.

FibOverlay is the more basic of the two. As its name suggests, it allows you to add a Fibonacci Retracement capability to any price chart. It only does retracements and it only does one at a time; it's very basic.

ChartOverlay does all that FibOverlay does and much more. With it, you can draw Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions, Andrews Pitchforks, Gann Fans, Action-Reaction Lines Time Cycles and other studies. You can drawn them on any chart and you can draw as many as you want of each. You can also save your work, either as an image or as a file that can be opened later and used again.
