Charts
The chart window, indicators, drawing tools, templates and chart trading.
Chart basics
- The chart window The toolbar, timeframes, the legend, the bottom bar and the drawing rail — where everything on a chart lives.
- Chart settings Candle colors, the legend, price lines and the countdown, the canvas, and chart trading — the five tabs of the settings dialog.
- Ranges, scales and time zone The chart's bottom bar — jump to a range, switch to percent or log, follow the tape, and pick the time zone.

Drawing tools
- Drawing tools 84 tools in six groups on the rail — how to find one, place it, and where to go next.
- Move, lock and remove drawings Select a drawing to restyle it, drag it by its body, lock it against edits, and clear the chart safely.
- Long and short positions Plan a trade on the chart — entry, stop and target with P&L, size and risk:reward worked out from the real bars.
- Measure price and date ranges Price range, Date range and Date and price range count the real move, bars, time, volume and ticks between two points.
- Drawing hotkeys, magnet and favorites Arm the common tools from the keyboard, snap anchors to the bars, and keep the tools you use on a strip.
- Drawings follow the symbol A drawing belongs to the ticker, not the day — where it's kept, and how it reaches your other devices.
