The chart draws your strategy's market as candlesticks, with every indicator you added overlaid on top and your entries and exits marked on the price. Open it with View Chart on any strategy — it is where you go to see what your rules actually did, candle by candle, rather than as a row of summary statistics.
One chart, several timeframes#
A strategy runs on one timeframe — its candles. But an indicator does not have to. Using an indicator's Timeframe (optional override), you can put a 30-minute strategy on the chart while overlaying a 1-hour EMA and a 1-day EMA, all on the same 30-minute candles.
They line up because a higher-timeframe indicator holds its last value across the lower-timeframe candles until its own next candle closes. A 1-day EMA updates once per day, so on a 30-minute chart it is a near-flat line that steps once a day; a 1-hour EMA steps every second candle. Your fast strategy gets to see the slow trend without leaving its own timeframe.
This is the chart-side view of the bias filter pattern: set an indicator's timeframe higher than the strategy's, and you can gate fast entries on a slow trend. The chart is where you confirm the slow line is doing what you expect before you wire it into a rule.
What's on the chart#
- Indicator overlays — every indicator you have added, drawn on the price (moving averages, bands) or in a subplot below it (RSI, MACD).
- Position markers — each entry and exit your strategy took, marked on the candle it happened on, with the profit or loss annotated.
- Deliberation markers — where a Squad deliberated, if one is mapped to the strategy.
- Timeframe switch — change the candle size you're viewing without losing your indicator setup.
Live versus delayed data#
Open a chart with View Chart on any strategy. As a strategy's owner — or a subscriber to a shared one — you get an auto-refreshing live feed. Viewing a community strategy you don't subscribe to shows delayed data.
