Opening TradingView
The TradingView and trading tools are accessible in both the Classic and Advanced versions of our UI. These two views offer different, editable UI layouts and are switchable at any time.
- Click [TradingView] above the chart to gain full access to the trading tools available and candlestick charts.
You will note that moving averages are already displayed on the chart. You can access their settings by clicking the [Settings] icon in the red square shown below. Each moving average is adjusted according to the specified time frame. For example, MA(7) is the moving average over seven candles of your time interval (e..g, 7 hours if you are using a 1H chart or 7 days if it’s a 1D chart).
- MA(7) - Purple
- MA(25) - Red
- 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 prices in the period. To customize your candlestick chart, double click on any of the candles in [TradingView] to bring up its settings.
- [Style] allows you to change the way your candlesticks look.
- [Scales] gives numerous options for the scaling and margin of your candlesticks, including Auto Scale, Log Scale, and Percentage Scale.

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 tool’s primary function. The default selection contains the following tools:
Popular Basic Tools
Long/Short Position
1.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. Select either the [Long Position] or [Short Position] tool.
