Market Studies — Basics

Market Studies is Signal Sigma’s charting workspace. It’s built to visualize and explore time series — not just price charts.

Create a study

• Open the menu → Add new

• Name the study

• Skip backtest import if you’re starting from scratch (you can import backtests later, in separate tabs of the study)

Add series

• On first create, use Add series

• Default example: Apple adjusted close (select color, scale, series type, hit apply)

• Each series appears as a bubble you can toggle on/off or edit

Add other data on the same ticker

• Add series → Market data

• Example: medium-term GEX (gamma exposure) on Apple

• For metrics that go positive and negative, use you can use a histogram

• Plot on the bottom / upper panel if you want it clearly separate from price

Add another ticker or series for comparison

• Search for the ticker using the search bar (e.g. MSFT) → Add

• Overlay its close on the same scale as Apple

• Go to Configure chart and switch the scale to percentage

Chart settings worth knowing

• Percentage scale — best for comparing percentage return of series

• Logarithmic scale — useful for long historical price data

• Stack series — sum series on the same scale, when stacking actually makes sense for your data type

• Zoom / set exact period — e.g. last 1,000 days, exact start and end date on a chart

• Lock time window — lock the visible interval, chart becomes static

• Time shift on any series — shift forward/back to test whether one series leads another

Export to CSV

• Actions → Export selected series and date range to CSV
