About Chart
Chart
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.
Chart view
TabTrader has its own charts (we don’t use third party charting).
All the basic indicators of market changes are displayed on the dashboard: market price, upper and lower price levels, bid/ ask, 24H percentage change and volume.
Charts in TabTrader are equipped with different tools for technical analysis: indicators, drawing tools and rulers.
The instrument page is also accessorized with essential live trading information: order book and last trades.
Charts have an interactive interface for applying orders, alerts and shapes right over them.
All your orders, trades and alerts are visually represented on the chart.
