Introduction to Charts

A chart is a graphical representation of price movement that can be created via the use of various components such as trend lines, candlesticks, bars, Heikin Ashi candles and more.

Charts help you ascertain key information on market price, upper and lower price levels, bid/ ask, percentage change and volume.

How to work with charts

Scroll left/ right to navigate through the chart history

Zoom in/ out – pinch in or stretch out with two fingers over the chart
