How to create charts with a gradient background

We recently made it possible to create charts with a gradient background. That means you can combine two colors at once to create a chart that looks good and is unique to you. In this example, we've combined a light blue with white to create an easy-to-look at background.

To get started, follow these simple steps:

Step 1 - Open your chart Settings
Step 2 - In the Settings window, click the Appearance tab
Step 3 - Change the Background setting to Gradient
Step 4 - Select any two colors

The chart in this example shows the price of Apple since its IPO using monthly candlesticks. Each candlestick shows one full month of trading. We decided to use Apple because nine years ago today, Steve Jobs passed away. Apple did a lot to change the technology sector and especially the art of long-term investing. By looking at this chart, you can learn a complete price history of Apple going back to its 1980 IPO including product releases and financial events. It's also shown on one of our new gradient chart backgrounds.
