- MA 7 - Orange
- MA 25 - Purple
- MA 99 - Cyan
[Depth] provides a visual representation of unfilled buy/sell orders on the order book.
Candlestick charts
Candlestick charts are a graphical representation of the price movements of an asset. The timeframe of each candlestick is customizable and can represent a given period. Each candlestick contains the open price/close price/high price/low price, along with the highest and lowest price in the period.

To customize your candlestick chart, double-click on any of the candles in [TradingView] to bring up its settings.
- [Symbol] allows you to change the color of your candlesticks. You can also customize the precision and timezone.
- [Status line] provides advanced options, such as OHLC values, bar change values, volume, and the background chart color intensity.
- [Scales] gives numerous options for integrating labels into your chart, such as symbol name labels, high and low price labels, indicator name labels, indicator value labels, and date format.
- [Appearance] allows you to edit the background and line segment color.
Candlestick intervals
The timeframe represented by each candlestick is alterable by selecting one of the default options above the graph. If you require more intervals, click the downward-facing arrow on the right-hand side.
Here you can select a new interval or click the [Edit] button to add more intervals to your default options.
Drawing tools
The left-hand side of the chart provides several drawing tools and options to help with your charting analysis. You can also right-click each tool to find variations of the toolâs primary function.

Long/short position
The long or short position tool allows you to track or simulate a trading position. You can manually adjust the Entry Price, Take Profit, and Stop-Loss levels. You will then see the corresponding risk/reward ratio.
