You can split the chart area into more than one chart and watch several instruments or timeframes at once. There are four layouts: a single chart, two side by side, two stacked, or four in a grid.
Each chart is independent
Every cell in a layout carries its own contract, its own timeframe and its own indicators. RSI can sit on one chart and not another, and the same indicator can run on two charts with different settings.
Each chart also carries its own buy and sell strip, so you can trade from whichever one you are looking at rather than switching first.
One toolbar, an active chart
There is a single toolbar above the whole chart area rather than one per chart. It acts on whichever chart you last clicked, and that chart is outlined so you can see which one your next action will land on.
If a change appears on the wrong chart, the outline is the thing to check.
Choose what syncs
Four things can be linked across the charts in a layout, and each is independent:
Crosshair — hovering one chart marks the same moment on the others
Time range — panning or zooming one moves them together
Symbol — changing the contract on one changes all of them
Timeframe — changing the interval on one changes all of them
Syncing crosshair and time range while leaving symbol and timeframe free is the common setup for watching one instrument across several intervals.
Crosshairs line up across timeframes
Crosshairs are matched by timestamp, not by position on screen. A 1-minute chart and a 1-hour chart hold very different amounts of time in the same width, so a pixel-matched crosshair would point at two different moments.
Matching on time means when you hover a candle on one chart, the others point at that same moment, which is what makes cross-timeframe reading actually work.
Your layout is remembered
The layout you choose and the sync options you set persist, so the workspace you build is the one you come back to.
