How to force Line chart style for specific symbols (like mutual funds)

There is an easy way to avoid switching the price chart style back and forth if we want e.g. to display a candlestick chart for our stock symbols, but a line chart for just a subset of tickers in our database (e.g. mutual funds).

To achieve that – we need to set Continuous Quotations option to No in Symbol->Information window for the symbols that have only one price fixing per day (only close price available).

Continuous Quotations

Then – if we choose View->Price Chart Style to Auto – the chart will automatically use Line style for all symbols that have Continuous quotations option set to No. Other symbols will still use Candlesticks chart style.
