Make sure Summary is selected from the Type pull-down.

Find the currency/metal you're interested in along the top of the heatmap table. The colored swatches in its column indicate how it has fared against each of the currencies/metals on the left:

A blue swatch indicates the currency has fallen against the currency/metal on the left over the time period of the study.
A red swatch indicates the currency has risen against the currency/metal on the left.
A white swatch indicates minimal movement.
The lighter the color, the smaller the movement against the other currency; the darker the color, the greater the movement. The color gradations are shown in the heatmap value indicator below the heatmap.

To change the time period of the study, select a new start date in the Change since pull-down. The movements shown will be from this start date to the current date.

To see the actual percentage numbers in each swatch, click the Values checkbox.
