Interactive Chart

The Chart provides a practical subset of “TradingView” style functionality. It can be dragged, resized and zoomed in much the same way. The Chart’s main function is to provide visual representation of open orders, stops and positions.

In addition to basic functionality, the Terminal's chart also features a Designer mode for previewing orders before they are sent to the exchange.

For performance reasons, a small snapshot of recent pricing data is provided. The data is updated live (per tick) and can be switched to a number of common presentation resolutions; 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min, 1H, 4H, 1D.

Tick Charts

The price data can also be presented in Tick charts, which are a different way of representing price action and trading activity. Instead of candlesticks constructed by regular time intervals, Tick candlesticks are formed from a given number of trades. For example in a 200 Tick chart, as shown below, each candlestick represents 200 trades. After this number, the candle is closed and a new one is formed. They still have the usual Open, High, Low, Close and Volume.

In Terminal 3.0, you can select from a pre-defined list of tick sizes or you can enter your own size in the lower input box.

Interactivity

You are able to click and drag orders to a different price, simply drag the order's "handle" to a new price level. Note that if e.g. a buy order is dropped above the current price - and it is not marked “Post Only” - then it will have crossed the spread and will execute immediately as a market order.

Individual orders can be cancelled via the ❌ button on the order label. Note there is no confirmation warning provided, orders are cancelled immediately.

Price Autofill

Clicking on the chart will fill any selected “Price” input box in any of the order forms with the clicked price. This is useful for example when quickly placing a limit order instead of typing the price in manually.
