The terminal draws the chart itself, in native code rather than a browser in a window. Hence the response when you scroll, and the ability to show what web widgets cannot carry: footprint clusters across history.

What is on the chart

• Candles and volume.
• Footprint clusters: how volume is distributed by price inside a bar.
• Grid, price and time scales, a crosshair with readouts.
• Trade marks: entry, exit, a triggered pending order.
• Chips of an open position: entry, take-profit, stop-loss, close.

Drawings

Lines, rays, channels, shapes, zones, text — and a regression trend computed over the selected stretch rather than drawn by hand.

Drawings belong to an instrument and a timeframe, live in your account and arrive on another machine together with your settings.

Indicators

Built-in ones — moving averages, Ichimoku and the rest — plus anything you write yourself in QuasarGen Script. The language is described in the neighbouring section; Ichimoku in the terminal is written in it, and that is not an example of how it could be done.

An indicator sits in its own pane or over the candles — the script decides with the overlay line.

Alerts

An alert is placed on a line or a zone: the price arrives, the terminal says so. It can be shown on screen, played as a sound and sent by mail, configured per event. The mail carries no amounts: it reports an event, not the state of your account.

Economic calendar

Events with currency flags and importance. The data is collected by the server and delivered ready — the terminal does not crawl websites itself.

Beside it are exchange hours: which sessions are open right now.

Timeframes

The terminal keeps a base series at the smallest timeframe and builds higher ones from it by resampling. Switching a timeframe is therefore instant and needs no new download, while a timeframe smaller than the data honestly says “no data” instead of drawing an invention.
