Candle chart look and pane values

What's new

The candle chart on the terminal and on Bitcoin Live Price has a new default look. A study now shows its values in its own pane, so nothing from a study covers the candles.

Values in the pane

  • Each pane has a live legend. Every value of a study shows next to its name, with a dot in the color of the line. A MACD shows its histogram, its MACD line and its signal line. With no pointer on the chart, the legend shows the latest candle. When you move the pointer or a finger, it follows the crosshair from candle to candle.
  • A box floats in the pane under the pointer. It sits beside the crosshair and stays inside that pane. It shows the name of the study, the time of the candle and the value.
  • The crosshair has one value pill per pane. The horizontal line and its pill show in the pane under the pointer only, and the vertical line runs through all of the panes.
  • The time pill shows the age. The pill on the time axis shows the full time of the candle and how long ago the candle opened.
  • A pane too small for its rows reads its values in one line. On a phone, a small pane keeps its legend to two lines at most, and a touch still reaches the chart under it.

The new default look

  • Orange up candles and gray down candles. Down candles are light gray on the dark theme and dark gray on the light theme. The volume bars, the last price pill and its line use the same colors.
  • A near black background and no grid. Panes are split by a thin line.
  • Thinner lines and wicks. Study lines are thinner, and candle bodies are wider on a thin wick.
  • Studies in their own colors. The MACD histogram is orange above zero and gray below it, and it fades while a bar shrinks toward zero. RSI is purple, with a shaded band between 30 and 70 and dashed lines at 30, 50 and 70. VWAP is orange.
  • Axis labels and pills are 11 px.

Your settings

Colors you saved for the chart, for a candle or for a study still apply. Chart settings has an Auto choice for the grid and for the axis size. Auto gives the new look on the candle chart. Choose Horizontal, Vertical, Both or None for the grid, or a size from 8 px to 16 px for the axis labels, to set your own.
