Charts, Indicators and Layouts
Timeframes, chart types, SMA/RSI toggles, and saving your layout.
Written and reviewed by the Fundezy team · how we produce this
The center chart is your laboratory. Everything on it was covered conceptually in Course 02 — this lesson is the controls.
Timeframes
M1 · M5 · M15 · H1 · D1 buttons set the aggregation. The chart reloads ~150 bars of the selected timeframe from the platform's data service (a simulated feed — synthetic bars generated to stay consistent with the live quote you see in Market Watch, not real historical data). Practice reading the same moment on M15 and H1 — the structural lesson from Course 01 becomes obvious fast.
Chart types
Candle · Line · Bar · Area — four renderings of one OHLC dataset:
- Candle for reading the price war (bodies, wicks, closes).
- Line for a clean trend read (closes only).
- Bar if you prefer the classic OHLC ticks.
- Area for visually emphasizing the price path.
Hover any point to read exact values; on candles the tooltip shows full O/H/L/C.
Indicators
Two toggles, both computed client-side on the loaded bars:
- SMA(14) — orange simple moving average of closes.
- RSI(14) — purple momentum oscillator on a right-hand 0–100 scale.
Remember the warm-up behavior from Course 02: on the first bars of a series these values are not yet meaningful (the chart simply won't have a stable value until enough bars exist).
Save and load layouts
Found a setup you like — H1 candles with SMA and RSI on? Save layout stores your timeframe, chart type and toggles locally; Load layout restores them in one click. Build one canonical layout for analysis and stop fiddling with buttons mid-session — consistency of view is a small but real edge (you see the same picture every time, so changes in that picture mean something).
Chart, meet order form
The chart is the reason; the order form is the action. A good workflow keeps them adjacent: read structure → decide levels → enter the order with those levels. The chart never places trades for you — that deliberateness is deliberate.
By the numbers
Multiply the views out: 5 timeframes × 4 chart types = 20 renderings of the same price tape. The indicators ship with their textbook settings — SMA(14), RSI(14) — and both need roughly 14 bars of history before they mean anything, which is why a fresh chart looks bare along its left edge.
