The charts can be modified to show different currency pairs such as other minor pairs and crosses on the forex market.

For those venturing away from FX, there are plenty of stocks and indices to pick from. Also, bonds and their yields are available here. The US Dollar occasionally moves alongside the benchmark 10-year Treasury yields.

There are various charting tools available and also a fully-fledged social network that enables sharing, seeing, and commenting on trade ideas that the community provides. A sign-in is required. The graphs can be expanded to a full-screen view.
