Chart features
Our charts are bright, beautiful and clear so it's easier to spot trends and analyse price data. And with up to 20 years’ worth of price history on all indices and on major FX and commodities, you can get valuable insights into price movements over longer timeframes. Below are just a few of our charting features. To try them out for yourself, download a demo account for free.
Customisable
All charts are preset as 5-minute line charts when you first log in to your account. We understand though that you might prefer a different setup, so we allow you to set your unique chart preferences as default. Simply organise any chart the way you would like, for example, you can specify a 1-day candlestick chart with MACD and a 21-day Simple Moving Average, then click set as default within the chart options. Now each time you load a new chart on any product it will appear the way you want it.
You can even save a number of preferred chart layouts, known as presets, within the chart options.
Overlays
Choose from over 20 technical overlays including Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, Pivot Points, Ichi Moku Clouds and Parabolic SAR. Technical overlays appear directly over the chart history and can help you find potential support and resistance levels which you might want to use to set your stop losses.
Technical studies
You can use more than 45 technical studies, including MACD, RSI, DMI and Stochastics. Our technical studies show up big, bright and bold on your charts and can help you identify price momentum and overbought/oversold scenarios.
Drawing tools
Draw your own trendlines, support and resistance lines, channels, Fibonacci retracements and much more. Those in the know use drawing tools to spot trends, patterns and strategically important price levels.
Multiple timeframes and intervals
Choose charts by time frame, interval or date range. Our charts contain up to 5 years of historical data for each product, which lets you focus on specific historical events to analyse their impact.
All chart analysis saved through your watchlists
When you open a chart from a watchlist, any drawing tools, customisation, technical studies or overlays added during your analysis are saved for later use when you close down the chart.
Note that when you open and close a product through the Product Library, the state of the chart will not be saved.
Enhanced risk management
See your current open positions and edit risk management orders directly from our charts. Setting effective stop loss and take profit orders is even simpler when you can see them in relation to your entry point and against recent historical trends.
Please note that charting data has inherent limitations and should not be relied on in isolation. Also, your specified target price may not be guaranteed due to market conditions.
