Bitcoin chart on your phone
What's new
The Newhedge Bitcoin chart on the terminal and on Bitcoin Live Price now works with your fingers on a phone. The chart comes first on the screen, and the controls you need sit close to it.
On a phone you can:
- Pan with one finger. Drag the chart sideways to move through time. A flick keeps gliding, and a touch stops it. A swipe up or down on the chart still scrolls the page.
- Pin the crosshair. Hold a finger on the chart to show the crosshair, and drag to move it along the candles. Tap once to pin it. Tap the same spot again to clear it.
- Pinch to zoom. Pinch or spread two fingers to zoom the time axis. The price axis refits to the candles on screen as you zoom.
- Drag the price axis. Drag along the price axis at the right edge to stretch or squeeze it. Choose Auto to fit the candles again.
- Draw. Tap the pen to open the drawing strip under the chart. Pick a tool, then tap the chart to place it. Drag a handle to move a point.
- Hold to draw. Turn on Hold in the strip. Then hold a finger still for a third of a second and draw a shape. A chooser shows what the stroke could mean. Choose Keep drawing, try an Alternative, or Cancel.
- Scribble to erase. With Hold on, hold a finger still and scribble over a drawing to erase it. A message offers Undo for a few seconds, and Undo brings the drawing back.
- Snap with the magnet. The magnet in the strip has three states: off, Magnet and Strong magnet. With a magnet on, taps and dragged points snap to the open, high, low or close of the nearest candle. It is the same setting as the Price crosshair setting on desktop.
The phone layout
- The price header is one row. Tap Show stats to open the market statistics.
- Banners, pop-ups and the chat button sit under the chart, so a finger on the chart never lands on one of them.
- Turn the phone sideways and tap Focus for a chart that fills the screen.
