Using the Library

Requests & comments



Access to the Vortex Chart Library is enabled by following the steps below:
  • Sample Charts are a handful of "typical" Vortex charts. They can be viewed by anyone, right now, without subscribing.  Sample Charts are delayed by up to 5 business days. See Step One below.
  • Complete Vortex Chart Library access is available to Acrobat enabled subscribers. The complete library is updated every day and contains data from either the current or previous day's close. See Step Two and Step Four, below.

Step One:  Take a look at the Sample Charts

Sample charts are a very small subset of the Vortex Chart Library, using recent but not current data.  They can only be viewed, not downloaded, and they don't have the navigation and manipulation capabilities of our full-featured Vortex charts. However, they do give you an idea of the general quality of charts in the Vortex Chart Library. To take a look, click here to review some Sample Charts. After you've had a look, come back here, and proceed to Step Two... 

Step Two:  Become Adobe Acrobat enabled

Vortex charts use the Acrobat electronic document format, which enables many powerful format and navigation features unavailable with HTML.  If you haven’t already installed the free Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in, we can tell you about the Vortex Chart Library, but we can’t show you!  

Step Four:  Subscribe and gain access to the entire library
