Charts and replay
Find a symbol, change timeframes, add indicators, then let the bars run.
The chart is where the product actually happens: replay, orders, indicators and drawings all live here. This chapter goes through it in the order you will meet it.
Opening and changing a symbol#
There are three ways in:
- Click a symbol in Explore
- Search and replace the symbol from the chart's own header
- Jump into a session from Home or from a result card in a conversation
Changing symbols inside a session keeps the chart's settings, but positions and order history belong to the session — they do not follow the symbol.
Explore, on the Favorites tab: the three tabs and the asset-class filters, with a few starred symbols listed.
Timeframes, time zone and jumping#
The timeframe picker is on the left of the toolbar. Standard periods run from minutes to months; custom timeframes are maintained in Settings, up to 10 of them (a Pro feature).
Beside it:
- Time zone — the axis can show a different zone from your system
- Jump to time — type a date and start the replay there
- Series style — candles, line, area
Indicators#
The picker groups indicators by family: trend, momentum, volatility, volume and so on, with dozens built in. Selecting one overlays it; the legend lets you change parameters, colours and whether it sits above or below price.
Indicators you created with AI appear in the same picker and behave identically.
Drawing tools#
Drawings come in two families:
- Marks — cursor, brush, line, ray, rectangle, ellipse, Fibonacci, Gann, Elliott wave
- Trades — Long Position and Short Position, which place orders from the chart
The toolbar also carries magnet mode (snap to OHLC), hide all drawings, undo and redo. Default styles per tool live in Settings and are applied to new drawings.
Layout: several charts at once#
Charts can sit side by side, up to your plan's limit (2 on Free, 12 on Pro and above). In a multi-chart layout:
- Each chart keeps its own symbol and timeframe
- The replay clock is shared — every chart moves together, which is what makes multi-market or multi-timeframe confirmation practical
- The active chart is outlined, and toolbar actions apply only to it
For grouped backtesting this saves a lot of switching.
A two-chart layout on different symbols but the same timeframe, both replaying the same day, with the active chart visibly outlined.
The replay bar#
The replay bar decides what "now" is:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Play / Pause | Advances at the chosen speed (Space) |
| Next bar | One bar at a time (→; holding repeats) |
| Speed | Bars per second |
| Skip | Jumps a fixed span (length and unit are editable) |
| Resolution | Bars, or tick-by-tick |
Tick-by-tick mode: switch the resolution, let the replay run a couple of seconds, and keep the Time & Sales panel in frame.
In tick-by-tick mode the quotes inside each bar stream in as well. Limit fills and stop runs only show their true order of events at that resolution.
Orders and positions#
The replay bar carries a quick order row: Buy and Sell with a size box. That is a market order at the current price, which is enough for most practice.
For an entry with a target and a stop, draw a Long or Short Position and the order dialog opens on release. Besides market orders, Limit and Stop orders wait at a future price.
The right-hand panel has three parts:
- Positions — open trades; edit stops and targets, or close part of a position
- Pending orders — orders that fire when the replay reaches their price
- Time & Sales — the quote tape, with time, bid, ask and size
The Export button at the top of the panel writes closed trades to CSV for a spreadsheet or a trade journal.
Shortcuts#
Two bindings ship by default:
- Space — play / pause the replay
- → — advance one bar
Settings → Shortcuts changes the keys, toggles hold-to-repeat, and sets the long-press delay. Bindings are per device; they do not sync.
Next#
With the chart under control, the next chapter turns a practice session into something you can read: “Manual backtesting and sessions” covers cost assumptions, order lifecycle and the report.
