The workspace is a single screen that combines the chart, its tools, and three side panels. This tour names each region so the rest of the docs can refer to them.
The chart area
The center of the screen is the chart area. It shows one or more chart panes, each an independent candlestick chart with its own timeframe and indicators. Panes are arranged in a synchronized multi-pane layout (six panes by default).
- The active pane has an amber border and ring. Most actions — drawing, replay, screenshots, view resets — apply to the active pane. Click a pane or press
Tabto change which pane is active. - Each pane has a candle info line in the top-left corner that displays the open, high, low, close, change (Δ), and volume of the bar under your cursor (or the latest bar when you are not hovering).
See Multi-Pane Layouts for how to add, remove, expand, and resize panes.
The toolbar
Chart controls sit in the toolbar:
- Symbol input — type a ticker to switch the charted symbol. Press the quick-search shortcut to focus it instantly.
- Timeframe selector — switch the active pane between timeframes (1M through 1W). Less-common timeframes (3M, 10M, 30M, 1W) live in an overflow menu.
- Series type — choose how price is drawn: Candles, Bars, Hollow candles, Volume candles, Line, Line with markers, Step line, Area, HLC area, Baseline, Columns, High-low, or Heikin Ashi. See Chart Types & Volume.
- Drawing tools — trend lines, shapes, text, Fibonacci, position tools, and more. See Drawing Tools.
- Replay — step through history bar by bar. See Bar Replay.
- Settings — open the chart settings dialog. See Chart Settings.
- Theme & palette — switch light/dark/auto and pick a color palette. See Themes & Palettes.
The side panels
Three panels open alongside the chart. You can open the workspace directly into one of them with the panel query parameter:
| Panel | What it does | Direct link |
|---|---|---|
| Indicators | Add and manage technical studies on the active pane | /chart/BTCUSDT?panel=indicators |
| Backtesting | Compose and run strategy tests | /chart/BTCUSDT?panel=backtesting |
| AI assistant | Chat with a chart-aware assistant | /chart/BTCUSDT?panel=ai-assistant |
- The Indicators panel is the indicator picker — Active, Popular, Favorites, Recent, and search. See Adding & Managing Indicators.
- The Backtesting panel is the Strategy Tester. See Backtesting Overview.
- The AI assistant panel is a chat drawer that can read and act on your chart. See AI Assistant Overview.
The watchlist sidebar
A watchlist sidebar keeps saved groups of symbols within reach so you can jump between markets without rebuilding the workspace. See Watchlists Overview.
