Charting
Live prices, your indicators and your trades on one chart.
Charts appear throughout Cloud9Trader: on the public Charts page, in Platform and Exchange layouts, and in every backtest and trading session result.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”- Price charts that update live. Show candlesticks, OHLC bars or a line, using the bid, mid or ask price, at Tick or at intervals from 1 min to 1 day. Scroll back for more history, zoom with the mouse wheel, and switch between local time and UTC. Weekends are shaded.
- Indicators. Add any built-in or custom indicator from the Indicators panel, as an overlay on the price or as a study on its own axis. Your choices are remembered per chart.
- Your positions on the price. Opened and closed positions are drawn as markers joined by a line, coloured by profit or loss, with details on hover.
- Your algorithm’s own lines. Values an algorithm passes to
plot()during a backtest are drawn on its price chart, so you can see what it saw. - Result charts. Backtests and sessions add an equity or cumulative profit chart and a set of analysis charts.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- At most 100 positions are drawn in view at once.
- Some intervals are not offered for some brokers’ instruments; for FXCM instruments, 1, 2 and 5 minutes are not available.
- Chart snapshots and embedding charts on other websites are not available at the moment.
Charts are available on every plan, and the Charts page works without signing in.
