## What it is

News marks on a chart when headlines about its instrument came out. Each candle in which a story was published gets a small blue marker just above it, so a headline sits where the price was when it appeared.

It puts the headlines next to the price, so you can see what was reported around a move without leaving the chart. A click on a marker lists its stories, and each story opens the publisher's article.

News is a layer of the Chart widget, off until you turn it on. Its headlines are the ones the News widget lists for the same instrument.

## How to use it

1. Start from a Chart widget showing the instrument you want the headlines for.

2. Choose **Overlays** in the toolbar at the top of the chart. On a narrow chart, it is the icon of stacked layers.

3. Turn on **News**. A marker appears above each candle in which a story came out. When several stories fall on the same candle, they share one marker that shows how many there are.

4. Click a marker to list its stories, newest first, each with its source, its time and its headline. Click a headline to open the article on the publisher's site, in a new tab.

5. A News widget that follows an instrument can do the same for the charts in its link group. Its chart icon, named **Show news on chart** when you point at it, turns News on for every chart in that group on the layout, and a second click turns it off. When the widget is narrow, it is a row of the widget's ⋮ menu.

6. To take the markers off, click any marker and choose **Hide news**, or turn **News** off again in **Overlays**.

## Good to know

- News is a setting of each chart, saved with your layout. It is still on after a reload, and it stays on when you change the chart's instrument. A chart you add starts with News off.
- The News widget's button changes only the charts in its own link group. While no chart shares that group, the button is grayed out: put a chart in the same group first.
- The markers show the headlines the News widget lists for the instrument, from no more than about a month back. For an instrument in the news every day, they reach back a week or two. Only the stories inside the chart's loaded history are marked: a one-day view shows the last day's, and scrolling back or choosing a longer range shows earlier ones.
- With News on, **Overlays** says under **News** when the instrument has no recent headlines, or when the news cannot be loaded right now.
