Simple moving average (SMA)

The average close of the last N candles, drawn over the candles.

How: Sum of the last N closes divided by N; nothing is drawn until N candles exist.

Settings: Period (SMA 20 and SMA 50 in the menu, any length in its settings), color, line width.

Exponential moving average (EMA)

A moving average that weighs recent closes more, so it turns sooner than the SMA.

How: Starts from the SMA of the first N closes, then each close moves it by 2 / (N + 1) of the difference.

Settings: Period (EMA 21 and EMA 200 in the menu), color, line width.

Relative strength index (RSI)

Momentum from 0 to 100 in its own pane, with lines at 30 and 70.

How: Wilder's RSI: average gains against average losses over N candles, smoothed the way Wilder did.

Settings: Period (14), colors of the line and the 30 / 70 levels, width.

Volume

Traded volume per candle as bars, colored like the candle (rising / falling).

How: The exchange's volume of the candle (coins for linear and spot, contracts for inverse).

Settings: Colors of rising and falling bars.

Volume (on chart)admins for now

The same volume bars, drawn along the bottom of the price pane behind the candles instead of in a pane of their own.

How: The exchange's volume of the candle; the tallest bar in view reaches the set share of the pane's height.

Settings: Colors of rising and falling bars, height (share of the pane).

HTF Candlesadmins for now

The newest candles of a higher timeframe (4h at first) drawn wide to the right of the live candle, so a 5 minute chart also shows where the 4 hour candle opened, how far it ranged and where it stands now.

How: Built from the chart's loaded candles; a higher timeframe candle that starts before the oldest loaded one is drawn faded (scroll back to load the rest).

Settings: Timeframe (any longer than the chart's, also your own), how many (1 to 10), width and spacing (in candles), distance from the live candle, colors of rising, falling and the wicks.

Volume profile (visible range)

How much traded at each price over the candles in view, as bars at the chart's right edge (or left): taker buys and sells apart, the point of control (POC, the price with the most volume) as a line and the value area (the prices around the POC holding 70 % of the volume, edged VAH / VAL) at full color, the rest fainter. It follows the view as you pan and zoom.

How: From the server's footprints (the taker volume at each price of every candle, stored since it started recording, so exact and with the buyers and sellers known); where a candle has none (older history, the forming candle) its volume is spread evenly over its high - low, in a neutral color, and the legend says it's partly estimated. Rows are round price steps for about the number of rows you set, never finer than the footprints' buckets. The value area grows from the POC two rows at a time, the larger pair first.

Settings: Rows, width, value area on / off and its share, POC on / off, buys / sells apart, left or right side, colors (buys, sells, estimated volume, POC, value area edges), POC line width.

Session volume profile

A volume profile per session, drawn inside it from its first candle: the POC and the value area's edges (VAH / VAL) across the session, naked POCs (a session's POC that no later candle traded at, dashed on until one does: prices the market may come back to) and optionally the developing POC (where the POC was after each candle).

How: Built like the visible range profile (footprints where recorded, else estimated from candles) for every session of the loaded candles from 20 sessions before the view on, so naked POCs from earlier sessions reach in. Sessions are UTC days from 00:00 at first; another start time, weeks from Monday or custom hours each day (e.g. 13:30 - 20:00, past midnight when the end is before the start) in its settings. Finished sessions are computed once.

Settings: Sessions (daily, weekly, custom hours) and their start / end time, rows, width (a share of the session), value area on / off and its share, POC, naked and developing POC, buys / sells apart, colors.

TPO (Market Profile)

Each session cut into periods (30 minutes at first), each a letter (A, B, C, ... then a, b, c) placed at every price its range traded at, side by side per price: where the market spent its time. The point of control (the price with the most letters) and the value area (70 % of the letters around it, edged VAH / VAL), the initial balance (the first hour's range: a bar at the session's left and its edges), single prints (prices inside the profile only one period traded at, highlighted: fast moves the market may come back to fill), poor highs / lows (an extreme two or more periods traded at: an auction that didn't finish, often revisited), the open (a tick left of the session) and close (one at its end), the midpoint of the range (dashed), naked POCs dashed on until traded at and the TPO counts above / below the POC.

How: From the chart's candles only (no footprints needed): each period's high and low mark its rows, rows are round price steps for about the number set. A period is never shorter than the chart's candles (a 1 hour chart has 1 hour periods). Letters show where they fit, blocks otherwise; zoom in to read them.

Settings: Sessions (daily, weekly, custom hours) and their start / end, the period (5, 15, 30, 60 min), the initial balance's periods, letters or blocks, colored by period, rows, width (a share of the session), value area on / off and its share, POC, naked POC, single prints, poor highs / lows, open / close, midpoint, TPO counts, every color.

Heatmap

The resting order book behind the candles: for every candle the size waiting at each price when it closed, bright where large orders sat.

How: The server takes the order book at every candle's close into price buckets of about 0.0125 % of the price (never finer than the tick). It is stored for some timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m and 1h for popular markets); other timeframes show the coarsest stored one that divides them (a 45 minute chart the 15 minute columns, its last column per candle). Admins also see the forming candle live from the book and the 1 second book on the 1s chart. Zoomed out, cells merge (2, 4, 8 … candles and buckets, the largest size of the candles in a cell) so it stays smooth.

Settings: Gradient from small to large sizes, or bids and asks in their own colors; a minimum size (also per range of timeframes), in the market's own size unit and kept per unit: coins on linear and spot markets (every exchange's BTCUSDT shares the BTC values), USD on inverse ones (every BTCUSD shares its own), so switching a chart's market brings the values that fit it; the size of the hover window that shows the numbers around the pointer (the hovered cell also in the other unit: dollars for coin sized markets, coins for inverse ones, at a size of its own; only inside the range below; next to a long event summary it moves to the summary's side); where it is drawn: switch on "handles" for two small triangles on the price pane's bottom border (the time axis, or the border to the panes under it), each with a faint line up to the prices (drag them; the right one follows the newest candle until dragged off it; hidden again, the range they set stays), or a lookback of the last N candles; "All" goes back to all of it.

Cumulative delta

The running total of taker buys minus taker sells: rising while buyers lift the asks, falling while sellers hit the bids. Divergences from the price are what to look for.

How: Each candle's delta (taker buy volume - taker sell volume, from the trade stream) added up from the first loaded candle on, so its level is relative; only its shape matters. A minute the trade stream didn't see from its start has no delta and adds nothing.

Settings: Line or candles, color, line width.

Cumulative delta as candles

The cumulative delta as candles: each opens where the sum was before the candle and closes where it got to, so a candle's body is that candle's delta.

How: The same data as the line (switch in the indicator's settings or with the icon next to its name); the sum's path inside a candle isn't known, so there are no wicks.

Settings: Colors of rising and falling candles.

Footprint

Each candle's trades by price (a cluster chart): per price row two columns, the taker sells as a bar to the left of the middle and the buys to the right (their numbers on them when zoomed in), or the row's delta or volume, colored by delta, by volume or only where imbalanced, beside a thin candle. Imbalances: a row's buys at least 300 % of the sells one row lower (buyers lifting the ask harder than sellers hit the bid a row below), sells at least 300 % of the buys one row higher, highlighted on their side; three or more in a row are stacked imbalances, drawn as zones on to the middle of the candle where the price trades back in (levels the market often defends), also from candles scrolled off to the left. Each candle's POC is framed, an unfinished auction (its top or bottom row traded on both sides) marked, its volume, delta and delta % written under it.

How: From the server's footprints (stored since it started recording, in buckets of about 0.0125 % of the price per minute, wider on longer timeframes); candles without one show as normal candles. The forming candle is filled from its minutes already stored (about every 30 s) and, for admins, the current minute live. A candle whose own footprint wasn't built (a minute of it wasn't recorded, e.g. while the server restarted) is built from the minutes there are, a little fainter and marked "partial". Numbers show where the rows are tall and wide enough (zoom in), colors otherwise. The regular candles aren't drawn where a cluster is (the eye after the title hides them all).

Settings: Rows show sells x buys, delta or volume; colored by delta, volume or imbalances only; rows ×1 / ×2 / ×5 / ×10 of the stored bucket; the imbalance ratio and its least volume; stacked zones and from how many rows; POC, candle, volume / delta, unfinished auctions; colors.

Volume delta

Each candle's taker buy minus sell volume as bars above (buyers ahead) or below zero (sellers ahead).

How: From the trade stream like the cumulative delta; custom timeframes add up their pieces' deltas.

Settings: Colors of buyer and seller bars.

Order flowadmins for now

What the server found in the trades and the book, drawn with the heatmap: walls as lines over their life (✕ where one was pulled, a dot where it was traded away, likely spoofs in their own color; a short vertical mark instead of the ✕ where a wall was pulled just before the price reached it), icebergs as outlined bands, absorption as brackets, sweeps as bars over the prices they ate, the same size again and again as dotted boxes. Each kind can be switched off and has its own minimum value. Walls are colored from their small color to their full one and drawn thicker the larger they are, against all the walls loaded (zooming doesn't change the colors; lines and their end marks keep their proportion to the candles, never thinner than a pixel). Pointing at events lists every one under the pointer, largest first, after a summary per kind and side (how many and their value together). Ends are drawn where they happened inside their candle (a wall pulled 2 minutes into a 5 minute candle ends a little before its middle). A wall the server saw again after a restart is one line, from when it first stood to its real end (unless the price got through its level or more than 3 % away in between: then the later wall is another one); one whose end it never saw ends at the middle of the first candle that traded through it or moved more than 3 % away.

How: The server watches every tracked market's trades and book and keeps what it finds; each kind below has its own rule. Pointing at events lists every one under the pointer, largest first, after a summary per kind and side (how many and their value together).

Walls

A level within 3 % of the price at least 10x the median level size within 1 % of it, among the largest 0.5 % of those and above the wall value, that stood at least 15 s (market makers' quotes come and go far faster); its line runs from when it appeared until it was pulled (at least 50 % gone in one change while little traded there; ✕), traded away (trades hit it as it went, or at least 50 % of its largest size traded there while it stood: eaten bit by bit, the last of it cancelled; a dot), faded (shrank away in small cancels), left behind by the price, or lost (the exchange's book feed had a gap or reconnected and the wall wasn't there after it: gone by then, how unknown) (walls that lived less than 10 s are drawn only when pulled). Walls that appeared further than 1 % away (the outer band, up to 3 %) are reported from their own busy-hour size (about 6 a minute), so large far orders don't push out the walls near the price. How far that reaches depends on the exchange's book: Binance sends its whole book, Bybit's linear BTCUSDT book reaches only about 0.25 % from the price. Colored from their small color to their full one and drawn thicker the larger they are, against all the walls loaded (zooming doesn't change them). Ends are drawn where they happened inside their candle (a wall pulled 2 minutes into a 5 minute candle ends a little before its middle). A wall the server saw again after a restart is one line, from when it first stood to its real end (unless the price got through its level or more than 3 % away in between: then the later wall is another one); one whose end it never saw ends at the middle of the first candle that traded through it or moved more than 3 % away.

Likely spoofs

A wall pulled within 0.3 % of the price less than 60 s after it appeared, the price having come at least 50 % closer to it since: a wall pulled as the price came at it, not a quote moved about. Drawn in its own color.

Pulled before touch

A shown wall pulled and then reached by a trade at its price within 10 s: its line ends in a short vertical mark instead of the ✕, where it was pulled (inside its candle when the pull and the touch fell in the same one; alone at the pull when its line isn't loaded); its hover says how soon the price came. The chart marks those within the time you set (0.5 to 10 s, 3 s at first); a marked wall is shown even when quick pulls are hidden.

Icebergs

A price that traded at least 2x the most it ever showed and refilled at least 2 times, until trading there stopped for 10 s. An outlined band.

Absorption

Within 10 s of the first trade into a level, at least 3x its average visible size traded into it while nothing traded beyond it. A bracket.

Sweeps

One taker order: the fills of the same side in the same millisecond added up, reported 500 ms after its last fill. A bar over the prices it ate.

Same size

A size with at least 3 significant digits (0.1234, not 0.5, which people type), or sizes within ±2 % of it (one player changing each order a little), added to the book or traded at least 20 times within 60 s, each repeat worth at least 1/100 of the order threshold and the run together at least the order threshold. A dotted box; shown up to the tolerance you set.

Sizes that count

Sizes are judged in USD: an order counts from the market's large trade value (e.g. $250k for BTC), else from $100k / $25k / $5k for popular / standard / long tail markets; a wall from 4x that. These are minimums: in a busy market sweeps, same size runs and walls show only from the size that about 4 / 2 / 6 of them a minute reached over the last 60 minutes on that market, so a busy hour shows the large ones, not more of everything (each market by its own trading, so a size can show on one exchange and not on a busier one). For the first 15 minutes after the server starts only the minimums apply.

Settings: Each kind on or off with its own minimum value; walls pulled soon after they appeared hidden (within a time you set: seconds, from a minute on minutes; 30 s at first), except those with a "pulled before touch" mark; "pulled before touch" marks on or off, for walls the price reached at most a time you set after they were pulled (0.5 to 10 s, 3 s at first); same size runs shown up to a tolerance (exact, ±0.1 %, ±0.5 %, ±1 %, ±1.5 % or ±2 %, each taking in the tighter ones; ±1 % at first); walls by size (color and width) on or off; colors of walls on bids / asks and of small walls on bids / asks, likely spoofs, icebergs, absorption, sweeps (buys / sells) and same size runs; line width; the details window's size; alerts (walls stacked or pulled, icebergs, absorption, sweeps, same size runs).

Book imbalanceadmins for now

Which side of the book is heavier near the price, from -1 (only asks) to 1 (only bids), in its own pane.

How: Every second: (bids - asks) / (bids + asks) of the sizes within 0.5 % of the mid price, stored as minute candles and built up into every timeframe; the line is each candle's close.

Settings: Colors of the line and the zero line, width.

Liquidations

Positions the exchange closed (derivative markets), as markers sized by value: longs closed and shorts closed in their own colors.

How: Every liquidation from the exchange's stream, at the price it was closed at. Binance streams at most one a second per market (the largest), so its markers miss some in a cascade.

Settings: Colors, a minimum value, alerts.

Large trades

Single trades from the market's large trade value (and block trades), as bubbles sized by value and colored from small to large.

How: Every trade of the stream at or above the threshold; unlike sweeps these are single fills.

Settings: Colors of buys and sells and of small buys and sells, color by size on or off, the bubbles' size, the details window's size, a minimum value, alerts and the alert notes' size.

Open interest

The open contracts of a derivative market, as a line in its own pane.

How: Live from the exchange's ticker each minute, history from its 5 minute samples (built into every timeframe). Values built from samples are marked sampled. On second timeframes (admins) the last 6 hours are stored every second; further back each second shows its minute (faded), and between two ticker values a second holds the last one (Binance's open interest changes every 5 seconds). Mark and index price work the same, from their minutes and the live ticker.

Settings: Line or candles, colors, width.

Open interest as candles

Open interest as candles (open, high, low, close per candle), sampled ones faded.

How: The same data as the line; switch in the indicator's settings.

Settings: Colors of rising and falling candles.

Funding rate %

The last settled funding rate in percent at each candle, with a zero line.

How: Every settlement from the exchange; a candle shows the rate in force at its close.

Settings: Colors of the line and the zero line, width.

Mark price

The exchange's mark price (what liquidations use), over the candles.

How: Live from the ticker, history from the exchange's mark price candles.

Settings: Color, width.

Index price

The index price (the spot markets' average the contract follows), over the candles.

How: Live from the ticker, history from the exchange's index price candles.

Settings: Color, width.

Premium index

How far the contract trades above or below its index (Bybit and Binance linear contracts; OKX has no premium candles), in its own pane.

How: The exchange's premium index candles.

Settings: Colors of the line and the zero line, width.

Long / short accounts

The share of accounts holding longs (0 to 1, with a line at 50 %).

How: The exchange's long / short account ratio, published every 5 minutes.

Settings: Colors of the line and the 50 % line, width.
