Hints and Tips!
The left-hand y-axis gives relative values in %. The calculation method is one of % change based on an "index" value set to 0.00 on the first day of the selected date range.

The y-axis gives the absolute value of the first selected RIC.

Look out for the status bar under the chart. A mouse-over on any point on one of the lines will give you the price and volume details for that point. It also shows useful hints on how to use the chart facility to its best.
