1. Charting Overview

Charting is the heart of the workspace. Every chart pane is a fast, interactive price chart with its own symbol context, timeframe, series style, indicators, and drawings. This section covers everything you can do on the canvas.

What a chart pane gives you

• A price series drawn in any of 13 styles — candlesticks by default. See Chart Types & Volume.
• Navigation by scroll, drag, keyboard, and a Go-to-time dialog. See Navigating the Chart.
• A synchronized multi-pane layout so you can watch several timeframes at once. See Multi-Pane Layouts.
• Drawing tools for trend lines, shapes, text, Fibonacci levels, and position tools. See Drawing Tools.
• Bar replay to step through history bar by bar. See Bar Replay.
• Event overlays for news, earnings, dividends, and splits, plus session shading. See Event & Session Overlays.
• A deep settings dialog to tune appearance, the status line, the canvas, events, and the data provider. See Chart Settings.

The candle info line

Each pane shows a status line (the "candle info line") in its top-left corner. It reflects the bar under your cursor — or the latest bar when you are not hovering — and can display the title, OHLC values, change, and volume. What it shows is configurable under the Status line tab in Chart Settings.

Indicators on a pane

Technical studies are layered onto a pane from the Indicators panel: some draw directly on price (overlays like moving averages), while others render in their own sub-pane below price (oscillators like RSI). Indicators are covered in their own section, starting with the Indicators Overview.
