 ====== Comparison Chart ======
+The Quoteboard can be toggled between a grid and chart display. This Comparison Chart allows you to visually see what is happening across different markets without having to read numbers. You can use it for different types of contracts to see at a glance how they are trading relative to each other. You can enable the comparison chart by clicking the 'Market Comparison Chart' button to the right of the 'DDE' button.
+Markets can be compared by % Net Change, Volume, Money Flow, RSI and Rate Of Change indicators.
+For example, compare % Net Change of grains with treasuries, currencies, crude and gold:
