Customizable Chart Types and Visualizations
One of the core strengths of the ETHBTC chart panel is its support for multiple bar types, allowing traders to choose the visualization that best suits their analytical needs.
OHLC and Colored Bars
- OHLC Bars display Open, High, Low, and Close prices using vertical lines and horizontal ticks.
- Colored OHLC Bars add directional context by coloring bars green or red based on price movement relative to the previous close ("Close to Close") or within the current period ("Open to Close").
Candlestick and Hollow Candlestick Charts
- Candlesticks are widely used in crypto trading for their clarity in showing price range and momentum.
Hollow Candlesticks use outline color and fill status to indicate trend direction:
- Black outline = higher close than previous
- Red outline = lower close
- Hollow = close above open
- Filled = close below open
Heikin-Ashi: Smoothing Market Noise
Heikin-Ashi charts use averaged price calculations to filter out noise and emphasize trend continuity:
- Open = (Previous Open + Previous Close) / 2
- Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
- Hollow candles signal uptrends; filled candles reflect downtrends.
This makes Heikin-Ashi ideal for identifying sustained momentum in volatile markets like ETHBTC.
Non-Time-Based Charts: Renko, Kagi, and Line Break
These chart types focus solely on price movement, ignoring time intervals—perfect for filtering out low-significance fluctuations.
- Renko: Plots "bricks" when price moves a set amount (default based on 14-period ATR).
- Kagi: Changes line thickness when price breaks prior highs/lows; thick lines = bullish, thin = bearish.
- Line Break: Reversals occur only after closing beyond the high/low of prior lines (configurable by line count).
Such tools help traders spot breakouts and reversals without distraction from time-based noise.
Technical Indicators and Trading Systems
The platform integrates sophisticated indicators directly into price bars for intuitive interpretation.
Elder Impulse System
Developed by Dr. Alexander Elder, this system combines:
- 13-day Exponential Moving Average (trend)
- MACD-Histogram (momentum)
Color-coded bars simplify decision-making:
- Green: Uptrend with positive momentum
- Red: Downtrend with negative momentum
- Blue: Mixed signals
This dual-filter approach helps avoid false entries during sideways markets.
Custom Expressions and Spreads
Using the fx button, traders can build custom formulas:
{ETH} / {BTC} // Tracks ETHBTC ratio
0-{ETH} // Inverts ETH price scale
({ZC*1} + {ZC*2}) / 2 // Averages corn futures contractsSymbols must be enclosed in curly braces {}. Operators include +, -, *, /, and ^, with parentheses controlling precedence.
This functionality enables ratio tracking, spread comparisons, and synthetic instruments.
