	centers around the world, so the prices can have different currencies.
	The automatic translation of currencies can be configured, as well as the translation
	of your purchases done in different countries. Finally, charts are
	available for each of your configured quote.

              </para>
	      <para lang="en">This is the default option. This graphs the historical price information in a familiar manner, connecting each day's closing price with a single line. Line charts for graphing quotes are useful if an analyst is interested only in a closing price each time.</para>

                <guilabel>Bar Chart</guilabel> (<guilabel>b</guilabel>)
              </para>
	      <para lang="en">A bar chart represents a full day's activity with a single vertical bar. The top of the vertical line indicates the highest price a security traded during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is displayed on the right side of the bar, and the opening price is shown on the left side of the bar. One bar represents one day of trading.</para>

              <para lang="en">
                <guilabel>Candlestick Chart</guilabel> (<guilabel>c</guilabel>)
              </para>
	      <para>Nel grafico a candela, il prezzo di apertura e quello di chiusura vengono collocati ai vertici opposti di un rettangolo, dai quali vengono tracciate singole linee verticali, che indicheranno la fluttuazione massima e quella minima del prezzo azionario durante la contrattazione giornaliera. Se l'interno del rettangolo è colorato il prezzo di chiusura è più basso del prezzo di apertura, se il corpo del rettangolo è vuoto il prezzo di chiusura è più alto rispetto a quello apertura.</para>

	<title>Media mobile</title>
              <para lang="en">
                A moving average is a statistical series of a security's closing prices throughout consecutive trading days. It is typically shown in the same graph as a line chart to indicate trends in prices.

	<title>Media mobile esponenziale</title>
              <para>La media mobile esponenziale (EMA) è una media mobile calcolata dando maggior rilevanza ai valori recenti rispetto a quelli più vecchi. Questo tipo di media mobile reagisce in maniera più rapida alla variazione dei prezzi, rispetto alla media mobile semplice. Le EMA calcolate su 12 e 26 giorni sono famose medie a breve termine, mentre quelle superiori ai 50 giorni sono utilizzate per indicare gli andamenti di lungo periodo.</para>

	<title>Sovrapposizioni</title>
              <para lang="en">
                Overlays allow you to graph multiple statistical measurements onto a single chart. For example, you can compare the performance of a single quote against that of an index such as the NASDAQ or the DJIA.

	<title>Indicatori</title>
              <para>Gli indicatori sono usati per cercare di predire futuri trend finanziari. Il corretto uso degli indicatori di mercato è argomento che va al di là dello scopo del manuale di Investimenti.</para>
