This page covers how to move around price action: panning, zooming, the crosshair, and jumping to a specific time. Most actions apply to the active pane (the one with the amber border) — click a pane or press Tab to change it.
Pan and zoom
- Scroll over the chart to zoom the time scale in and out.
- Drag the chart body to pan left and right through history.
- Drag the time axis to stretch or compress the time scale; drag the price axis to rescale price.
- Scroll back far enough and the chart automatically loads older bars.
Keyboard movement
With a pane focused, the arrow keys move the view:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Move one bar left / right | ← / → |
| Jump several bars left / right | Ctrl/⌘ + ← / → |
| Move focus to the next / previous pane | Tab / Shift+Tab |
| Reset the active pane view | Alt+R |
| Download a snapshot of the active pane | Alt+S |
| Expand / collapse the active pane | Ctrl+Enter (or Alt+Enter) |
The full list is in the Keyboard Shortcuts reference.
The crosshair
Hovering shows a crosshair and updates the candle info line with the OHLC, change, and volume of the bar under the cursor. In a multi-pane layout the crosshair is synchronized across panes that share the same symbol, so you can read the same moment on several timeframes at once.
Go to a specific time
Open the Go to dialog (toolbar button or the go-to shortcut, G). Pick a date on the calendar and, on intraday timeframes, a time; press Go to to scroll the active pane to that moment. On 1D and 1W timeframes the time field is disabled and only the date is used.
Resetting the view
Press the reset shortcut (Alt+R) to snap the active pane back to its default view, refitting the most recent bars. This is handy after panning far into history or zooming too far in or out.
